Why do people generally feel good to be immersed in nature?
Perhaps because nature does not hide impermanence; nature demonstrates
impermanence in all its glory.
This amazing cycle of growing, maturing, fruiting, withering, decaying, nourishing, ...
Urban landscapes hide impermanence; we have buildings and monuments that outlive the human life span.
Landmarks provide familiarity and stability, a kind of false assurance
that all remains the same, all goes well.
Perhaps this also irks us, this predictability, this routineness.
