Evidence shows that contact with nature contributes to our mental health and emotional wellbeing. As urban dwellers, how many of us get to escape to the outdoors on a regular basis? Accessibility, safety, and traffic are factors to consider. Simple wish this Earth Day: For more trees, parks, and green lungs in Malaysia.
A poem by Wendell Barry:
Sit and be still
until in the time
of no rain you hear
beneath the dry wind’s
commotion in the trees
the sound of flowing
water among the rocks,
a stream unheard before,
and you are where
breathing is prayer.
