The
Snow
My Experience With Nature
“Nature is a gift of God. It’s something which touches a
person’s heart emotionally. It’s a unique creation and its feel gives us a
touch of heaven…“-I used to read all this in books, but at that time I never
realized nature’s importance. Until one day when day when I found myself lying
in the lap of nature. Surrounded by natural things, I realized that those
books were not a hoax and gave a true impression of nature. Also, the reality
was quite different too, it was full of aroma and fun. My experience with nature
was one of my quality, fun filled and peaceful times.
It all happened when I went to the valley beside my house
with my family during winter last year. A day of two before, we had a heavy snow
fall. In addition, that was my first encounter with snow. I was amazed by this
different aspect of nature. White was the base color and it reflected immense
light. The presence of my family added more fun to the environment. The view was
touching, we were so exited that we didn’t even realize that we were in the
middle of a heavy snow fall. That was one of our best days as a family.
My first step on snow was wonderful. As I stepped on the
snow, it felt like I was walking on wet sand. With my crunchy steps I moved
forward and gradually felt so good that I started jumping and hopping on the
snow because the feeling was so soft and safe. My younger cousin brought with
him his toboggan, so we went sliding down the hill. It was fun. We made a snow
man and snow angels by lying on the snow and moving our legs and hands. Now the
time came for some action! We had a great snow ball fight which lasted long…Though
snow was the only difference in the atmosphere, it had a drastic effect. I
sensed a mood of happiness and joy in the environment.
Now, I wanted to feel the isolation and calm part of this
great thing. So, I went somewhere far from the crowed and sat near a green tree.
The sight of snow over the branch of the tree was fascinating. When I saw far
towards the horizon, I really liked the view, no grass just the fabulous white
carpet. Then I just lied on the snow and relaxed.
It was a great day and was an unforgettable experience. For
the first time in my life I sensed the classic, joyful and quiet part of nature.
It was so exiting and beautiful that I never wanted to go home. I just wished to
lie on the lap of nature. Now, whenever I see snow I get happy and want to go to
the valley again to enjoy !
