(Time to get out there, outside again…)
It’s not accidental that screensavers are often of tranquil scenes of nature. Or that the Shaw’s Frame channel is so popular as a screen background in many poems. Likewise, when people escape cities to go to the country on holidays and ‘to get away from it all.’
As Wordsworth noted in “Tintern Abbey” and Beethoven in his “Pastoral”, scenes of nature are restorative and speak to something deeper, something spiritual in humans. It appeals to that which needs and desires deep spiritual nourishment on a regular basis.
