When Nature Makes You Pause and Think Quietly
Sometimes I feel like nature is the only thing that doesn’t rush anybody. Even when life feels scattered, when money wahala is there or work just dey stress person, one small walk outside can calm the whole noise. I no even know how to explain it properly but growing up my parents always talk say, “go outside small, breeze go clear your head.” And truly, I think that was one of those simple teachings that still follow me till today.
For me, beauty of nature no always mean expensive vacation to island or big mountains wey we see online. Sometimes na just watching sunset behind old buildings, or seeing how rain touch the soil and that smell wey come out after. When I was small we used to play in the rain and run barefoot, my mother go shout, “don’t slip o!” but she still allow it sometimes because she know say that small joy matter. That kind childhood moment stay in my mind even as adult.
Nature get one quiet way of teaching patience. For example, when you see plant grow, e no hurry, e just grow small small. No matter how you watch am, it no go jump to full tree in one day. And I think that lesson apply to life too. These days everybody dey rush, looking for fast achievement and results, but nature dey tell you say growth dey steady and slow sometimes.
I remember one time we traveled to my uncle place in the village. The sky there at night no be the same like city sky. Stars full everywhere like someone scatter silver sand up there. That time I just sit down and realize say world big pass my stress. It give me small sense of gratitude and peace. I think many people need that feeling sometimes, just small reminder say life no just be hustle alone.
Nature also get a way of making you humble. When you see big mountain, or ocean, or even big tree wey don stand for many years, you go know say you be small part of something bigger. My father used to say, “no matter how man do strong, nature pass am.” And he was right.
So when I think of beauty of nature, I think of peace, patience, childhood, lessons and small moments that help person breathe again. Even if life hard, nature still dey do its thing quietly. And that alone beautiful.
