The Joys of Nature

The other day, I took a short walk across a more heavily wooded area on the campus of the college near my office. It was a beautiful day--no students around, bright sunshine, thick green foliage on the tall trees, flowers in bloom all around, birds chirping merrily, and bees tilting through the air on their drunken way home.

It was simply the most peaceful experience I've had in a month, and it was utterly lovely!
