Looking forward to the beverages & meals after hiking this.
Not THIS
We’re not LITE people!
(Not in any version of the word LITE)
Now, THAT’s a serious bell. “I’m the Leader!”
Kinda reminds me of Lafayette and Napoleon in Disney’s 1961 version of 101 Dalmatians.
I'm the LEADER
(What makes me truly snicker about this movie clip is Napoleon’s ability to decipher the vehicle, “It’s a motorcycle, two-cylinder, chain drive, one squeaky wheel on the front.” Hand to Heart, Michael is able to do this very same decipher; he can’t see the damn thing, but he is a fantastic decoder of audible vehicle anomalies.)
Anyway…
I digress.
Did you know that humans can benefit from natural environments to restore from stress and directed attention fatigue? I don’t think I’ve heard of that phrase before now. Directed Attention Fatigue, hmmm…
I remember doing research on trees for a children’s picture book. If I recall correctly,
It is a Japanese tradition that emphasizes the meditative nature of time spent in the forest or green space. Leave your phone and any distractions at home, and fully immerse yourself in the sounds, smells, feels and sights of the natural world.
While a natural environment provides more sensory input than the soundscape, there are indications that the soundscape alone also affords restoration.
Humans need the sounds of nature to heal.
Even when the sounds are silent.
