SLC31-W1 | THE GREEN JOURNEY | The Art of Observation

My dear Steemian friends, as some of you know that as a nature traveler and regular walker visiting such places is my passion so when I read the theme of this contest by my friend @muzack1, and @bijoy1 it made my day.

I took close to 100 images of this place but as it is not possible to post all of them I am presenting a few of them and inviting you to take part in this contest which offers you possibilities unlimites

Now I come to points

Visit a nearby park, garden, or green space 🌳

I went to my little green refuge T Pocket Park, Pallavpuram Phase 2, not far from my house but a green space in Modipuram and sat in stillness, my phone in my pocket. Fortunately I found a chair at the entrance so extended my legs and closed my eyes for a while.

 
For a while, I listened to the sound of of leaves and the songs of birds coming from the nearby trees, and I felt my thoughts were different from what I feel in normal course. The park felt a different place, no hurry but a sense of liveliness. I felt a different Mother Nature offered me a different feel without asking anything in return.

I noticed the as the sun trying to break even if the weather was cloudy in the beginning. I could see the branches sway slowly, and trust me I could listen to the music of the moment.

I have always realized that digital detox is not only about stepping away from screens but it is about stepping back into nature close your eyes and sit back doing nothing. I have been doing this for a long time so it was not a problem from me.

Spend at least 15 minutes quietly (no phone scrolling / digital detox)

For me, Mother Nature stands prime for me as it seemed to speak in silence, and I always listen to it with gratitude. You know as I practice digital detox I have never felt as if I get isolated from the world but rather get restored, and connected and the world around me looks different.

Trust me I felt my pace soften the moment I closed my eyes and slowed down, I became aware of the quiet things I usually overlook while on my gadgets as I felt the gentle sound of singing birds, the sound of leaves, the cool air touching my skin.

I no longer felt rushed but I felt calm, yet awake inside. Then I opened my eyes and started scrolling around the plants watching each small detail, I sensed a kind of peace that I often miss while working constantly on my laptop.

For me, Mother Nature stands prime for me as it seemed to speak in silence, and I always listen to it with gratitude. I never feel isolated but restored, grounded, and connected to myself as the world around me looks different.

In our busy digital lives, we often miss the smallest yet most magical details around us. This challenge invites you to slow down, observe, and truly feel nature.

Trust me I felt my pace soften the moment I closed my eyes and slowed down, I became aware of the quiet things I usually overlook while on my gadgets as I felt the gentle sound of singing birds, the sound of leaves, the cool air touching my skin.

When I watched this bunch of flowers with droplets of water I felt as if it was still enjoying the drizzle that had just stopped.

For those few minutes, I felt as if the world stopped to make me feel special. Everything around me was quiet, and in that stillness I felt calm, safe and secured . My mind was relaxed, I was breathing and alive but with a quiet sense calmness which is rare for us city dwellers.

When I watched this fur tree yet to grow big enough, I felt, it has trust and hope in every vein of its leaves.

Nature speaks in silence—through leaves, insects, wind, and light. All you need to do is pause and listen

For me, this experience felt like Mother Nature was speaking to me in silence, through the leaves, and as I looked above and saw the clouds disappearing giving way to Sun.

I walked around saw I was not alone but even the insects, were doing the same. They were enjoying the wind as much as I was doing.

I walked further and everything walked with me even these sunflowers who were looking down seemed to come alive as I walked past them as if they were telling me, you are not alone.

Oh yeah, the shifting quietly, and it was as if the space started a conversation with every creature present there of course there were no words but there was no dearth of conversation.

Our words came through sound of branches, and the touch of sunlight made me feel connected to everything around me. In that moment, I was not separate from nature but under the blessing of Mother Nature. I was part of it all as the stillness in me as I felt peace, wonder, and quiet gratitude.
