Nature Walks Make Me Humble

Nature Walks Make Me Humble

Every time I was closer to nature, I was humbled.

I was humbled by the magnificent display of nature's immense power.

Over the years, we have visited many sacred places and experienced
the grandeur of nature, such as:

Nature walks make us smarter, but certainly make us humble.

In his writing “前赤壁賦”, I thought 蘇東波 was quite humbled when
he saw the magnificent 赤壁 and 長江. He said:

“寄蜉蝣於天地,渺滄海之一粟。哀吾生之須臾,羨長江之無窮。”

Then, when he changed the tune to:

“挾飛仙以遨遊,抱明月而長終;知不可乎驟得,託遺響於悲風。” ,

he had ideation or delusion of grandeur.
