In times of restraint, it is essential to find shelters where we feel good and safe. Nature allows us to escape from the difficult reality, burdened by a pandemic, the end of which is constantly moving away from us. It is a place where we can run, meditate, exercise, hug trees, think, observe details or views into the distance. At the same time, it is nature that has been increasingly burdened, destroyed and threatened in recent decades. This time of forced solitude and different customs offers us moments to reflect on our actions, on what really matters.
