Work requires a lot of driving. During my drives each day, I watch cities grow and develop; 2 lane roads become 4 or 6 lane roads. An grassy field becomes a gas station. A serene field of corn becomes a new housing development. A new shopping center is built, where flowers used to grow. With this growth, my soul saddens for the loss of nature, and the loss of the land. A part of me understands that growth is inevitable. A larger part of me misses the carefree experience provided by nature. Yes, I understand that I too live in a developed area, but I wish the other areas could remain as is. The sense of wonder given in nature, away from the stress and expectations of this world, is priceless.
