Nature is a gift.
We are in a season where gifts demand a good portion of the attention we have left after tending to the important, the urgent, and the necessary... A gift is, in itself, a language—a way of expressing feelings. However, gift-giving often becomes an automatic task, searching at the last minute for something that saves face, even if we aren't quite sure what it will truly offer the recipient..
In reality, the best gift we can give—and receive—is time: dedicating time to conversation, to silence, to doing things together, to self-care, and to caring for one another.
In the age of technology, why not look to nature for the time of well-being? Nature is the best possible gift, and thanks to it, we can give with a different purpose: that of well-being, through time and attention. It’s not about spending more, but about spending better.
