SPIRITUALITY
Nature Reconnected Me to Spiritual Energy
How getting lost in the woods awakened my soul
“The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” — Eden Phillpotts
I used to be one of those people who rolled their eyes at anything remotely “woo-woo.” Spiritual energy? Vibrational frequencies? Cosmic consciousness? Yeah, right. I preferred to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground of cold, hard facts.
But then the universe decided to play a cosmic prank on my skeptical self.
It all started when my inner gremlin convinced me to ditch my meticulously color-coded schedule for a day and go full Ferris Bueller. As I was executing my rebel yell by blasting “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” with the windows down, I took a wrong turn and ended up at the edge of the Gambier Woods Nature Preserve.
Normally, I would have done a U-turn faster than you can say “productivity hack.” But something made me cut the engine and wander down the winding dirt path. Maybe it was the siren song of the chirping birds. Or the irresistible lure of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups I had stashed in my glovebox. Whatever cosmic force was at play, I surrendered to it.
