Recently, I was lucky enough to spend some time in the Colorado Rockies, where my perception of scale was reconfigured by the towering peaks and open plains that stretch to the horizon. I was made to feel small in the best way possible. The kind of way that pushes the mind off the day-to-day and to that place of wonder that only comes when we feel like an insignificant spec in the vastness of nature. I have found that the feeling of insignificance that nature can conjure to be a powerful catalyst to searching for meaning in life and that that search for meaning continually leads me back to meditation.
Thanks Nature. It was nice to be led back once again.
