I had always been driven and inspired by nature. From the Valleys of Wales all the way to the peaks of Scotland, I thought I had a good grasp on what nature had to offer. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
At One with Nature in Iceland
My first step on Icelandic soil was a revelation. The raw, untamed beauty of the landscape was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The towering mountains, the crashing waterfalls, the vast glaciers—it was all so overwhelming and awe-inspiring.
I spent the next five days exploring Iceland’s natural wonders. I hiked in the mountains, explored glacier-fed lakes, and even went whale watching. But it was the moments when I was simply surrounded by nature that I felt most connected.
One day, we hiked to the tongue of Hvannadalshnúkur, the biggest Glacier in Iceland. The water in the lake at the glacier’s edge was a deep blue, and the mountains reflected perfectly in its surface. I sat down on a rock and just stared at the lake for a long time. I felt completely at peace.
The silence was deafening. The only sound was the occasional crack of ice as it shifted in the glacier. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The air was crisp and clean, and it smelled of snow and pine needles.
I felt like I was the only person in the world. I opened my eyes and looked around. The mountains towered over me, and the lake stretched out before me like a mirror. I felt a sense of peace and tranquillity that I had never felt before. I was truly at one with nature.
a way to connect with nature in a deeper way
On another day, I was driving along the coast when I saw a group of puffins. They were so small and delicate, and they seemed to be enjoying the sunshine just as much as I was.
I pulled over and watched them for a while, and then I continued on my way. But I couldn’t stop thinking about them. They were so carefree and happy, and they seemed to be completely at one with their surroundings.
I realized that I wanted to be like the puffins. I wanted to be carefree and happy, and I wanted to be completely at one with my surroundings. I knew that I had to find a way to connect with nature in a deeper way.
My moment of connection with Nature
My first ever experience of whale watching was also very fruitful where I was able to get a glimpse of a few whales and a calf. I was amazed at how these massive creatures could move so gracefully through the water. It was a truly humbling experience.
I felt a sense of awe and wonder as I watched the whales swim and play. I realized that I was just a tiny speck in the vastness of the ocean and that these creatures were so much more powerful than me.
But at the same time, I felt a sense of connection to them. We were both part of the same natural world and connected to something much bigger than ourselves.
Iceland is a place where you can truly be at one with nature. It is a place where you can forget about your troubles and simply be present in the moment. It is a place where you can connect with your inner self and find your true calling.
I found my inner peace in Iceland, maybe you can too?
