As a person, the environment to me, is a place of peace. Being with the land I'm around is a time of solitude, a break from talking and interacting with other people. I don't have to pay attention to another person and wait on instruction, I don't have excess stimulation and I can take a break from the short term dopamine feedback loop. The environment to me is, in a modern sense, like being plugged into an outlet.
This being said, the activities I do in nature also exhaust me, and that's good too. When I go on hikes or runs or play sports outside I deplete my energy. But it's a fulfilling sort of exhausted. When I'm tired after a long run or day on the water I feel accomplished, like I have really lived that day. In comparison, a long day of being in a building or on electronics makes me feel tired too, but unfulfilled and hollow.
When I interact with the environment there is a constant cycle, a give and take. Not every person lives this constant but I think both those who do and those who don't should recognize it. When a plant is grown to be harvested in a field, it takes from the Earth. To replenish the soil after this, the remains of other plants are mixed back in. When an animal eats, it takes from the land. When an animal dies, other animals use them for sustenance. When I catch a fish we release it directly back so that it can reproduce and continue providing. When my family eats, our chickens get our leftovers, which eventually make it back to our garden as compost. So I suppose, really, the environment and land around me is an oasis I have the gift of living in and being a part of, including giving and taking.
