There, about a dozen times during the day, the wind drives over the sky the swollen clouds, which water the earth copiously, after which the sun shines brightly, as if freshly bathed, and floods with a golden luster the rocks, the river, the trees, and the entire jungle.

Henryk Sienkiewicz
About This Quote

One of the most beautiful and amazing experiences one can ever have is to stand in the rainforest. Standing there, you see the rain fall down on you and you can feel it as it touches your skin. The rain feels like a mist that clears your head and cleanses your soul, as if washing away all of your worries. It is such a peaceful feeling, as if you are not quite yourself, as if you are not in your body at all.

When you stand there, the only sounds you hear are the winds blowing through the trees and the water hitting against them. The only other thing you see is trees blowing in the wind, water running down the mountains, rocks covered with moss and grass swaying back and forth under your feet. You feel so connected to nature that it feels as if nature is alive itself.

Nature has brought life back to your soul.
