Sports are a treasured pastime and celebration of our culture. It gives us meaning through the collective cheers and desire to defeat an opponent. 

Yet, sports are momentary experiences that shouldn’t lead us to become complacent, superficial spectators if they persist endlessly. 

Nature offers us a different collective encounter. Unlike teams striving for an end-of-season win, Nature is unapologetically boundless and seeks to nurture us both physically and spiritually.

While it may wear us down during times of intense, sometimes brutally terrifying, atmospheric or terrestrial turmoil, we emerge from the aftermath grounded and renewed, remembering to appreciate Nature’s infinite beauty.
