Noe, your essay is very good. the one thing that stuck out in my mind was when you said, "We all seem to be arriving somewhere, within ourselves, by going nowhere." that is exactly how I feel when I am at the pond or anywhere in nature for that matter. I couldn't have said it better myself. For me that somewhere is simply inner peace, relaxation, and harmony. I don't feel any stress, sadness or worries. I love nature for that reason.
