Writings of J.A.M.

The closest I ever felt to nature, well there is the zoo, the aquariums, but all of that is man made nature, true nature lies away from civilization I think, when I went to gatlinburg TN I went to the mountains, and we stay in a cabin up there, it was so nice, trees surrounding you, the wide open horizon, full of nothing but blue, it was a great trip, but the best part was when we took a ski lift sort of thing up to the top of one of the mountains, of course there was a gift shop and all that but if you turned your back to that and just looked out on the horizon you could see the mountain peaks, lining up, the sky, birds, trees, the whole works, it was an awe inspiring mountain up there on the mountains, andother time we went to Rock City, that was another time I felt close to nature, the rocks were so interesting, of course all of the paths were man made and such, but still once you reach the top, it was the same sight as in gatlinburg, nothing but calm skys, beautiful mountain sides, and a gorgeous waterfall, it was a great vacation.
