For as long as I can remember, Iâve sought out deep connections with nature â even but a quiet pause to take in a sublime landscape, or one glimpse of an animal or bird Iâd never previously seen â these moments feel viscerally valuable, and always too fleeting. Living in a city, they can be all too rare too, but they can still be found. As we all struggle with the pandemic and seek safe ways to meet and play, it is as though the whole country has come outside, and re-awoken momentarily to these quiet joys of nature. Iâve never been less alone at parks and trails than this past year.Â
