A Story of Nature, Peace, and Comfort

It was a beautiful sunny morning and I decided to visit my aunt's house. The weather outside was amazing so I decided to sit outside and clear my mind. The pool's water fountain was on and the sound of the water hitting the pool seemed to calm me. I decided to sit and enjoy myself for about half an hour. A little wind began to blow and the beautiful pink flowers slowly fell into the clear blue water, the leaves began to dance and made a lovely sound, and the water was flowing like a river. A pretty squirrel walked by on the wire above the pool, stopping at one of the trees, and nibbling on the leaves. Birds began to sing and flew by in a harmonious group. I realized how much I had missed nature and all the beautiful components of it. Teens are so caught up in technology these days that they forget that there is more to life than just their cell phones or laptops. When I was a child, most of my hours were spent outside. Lately, almost all my hours are spent in my room. This experience taught me to spend a little more time outside and clear my mind from society. As I was finally relaxed and was enjoying my peace, the neighbor's dogs began to bark, which caused my aunt's dogs to bark, and suddenly I was hit back to reality.
