nature and city

When you're in nature, everything you come in contact with is alive in some way. Trees, water, sunlight, grass, animals. Everything that reaches your senses is growing and changing and vibrating with life. That's part of why it's so rejuvenating.

But when you're in the city, everything you see and touch is processed and dead. Concrete and steel floors and walls, clothing, the food you eat, the sounds you hear, the fumes you smell, the pale fluorescent lighting. Nothing is alive and growing, it's all dead. Even the sun gets blocked by the buildings.
