100 words | thoughts on nature

Over the course of this weekend I’ve come to realize that, Mother Nature, like certain things in life, is to be admired from afar. If you come too close, or try to get involved, She will cause you to feel pain, to surrender your dignity, and in one particularly disastrous incident, to lose a toenail. Oh yes, she bites. All the great ones know this to be fact. That’s why they write poetry, sing songs, and paint murals. The smart ones do. The other than smart ones climb Everest and are recovered with the spring thaw. Remember, admire from afar.
