Dear Steemit friends and followers,

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
What do you think of this interesting quote, my fellow Steemians? Do you also find spending time in a forest some kind of meditation or purification? Do forests have a stress-relieving effects on you?
Let me know in the comments below, I am looking forward to your stories and experiences :) Also, if you have a photo of your favorite place in a forest, feel free to share it with us ;)
Have a great start to the new week and Steem on!

Hmmmm, looks very refreshing..... like a spring time!
Yes, it is springtime in ''Puszcza Bydgoska'' forest in Poland :)
Being with the wilderness lets us realize the true value of us and yes all the hassle of life is indeed forgotten whenever being in with the nature !
Nicely said. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Hi @czechglobalhosts, I lot of times spend my time inside forests. Probably small one. But lot of times stay full day biggest national forests. I can share my experience with y'll. But my opinion is you need to get live experience connect with nature.
6 years ago, If I had some stressful problem of my life, immediately I went my nearest small forest. I stayed some shade under the biggest tree's. Then I remind my stress and pressure. Take breath using cool winds. Finally I sent my problems so far distance through winds. Then easily can do meditation process. My can keep one place. Actually I feel lot of freedom after connect with nature.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with all of us. I am glad that little wilderness helped unleash your problems. Steem on!
Spending time in Forest provides me inner peace the real satisfaction far away from crowdy places of cities, the on who wrote this quote is the man of rich taste and totally in love with nature

Great on you! Thank you for sharing your pic, looking very relaxed and calm over there:)......
Yesssssss forests are peace for my soul.
Okay so I read the John Muir's quote and thought about it for a while. Actually there were quite a few thoughts that came to my mind after reading the quote but I would like to mention the one that I struck me as most unique.
If person stays or camps in a forest for sometime, you notice that you become a part of it. There is a certain clarity in this union between a man and nature.
But beyond that there is another aspect. Once you stay properly in a forest you come to realize as beautiful as nature is, it can be very very harsh as well. If a person can resolve this conflict of beauty and harshness then even more clarity could be gained.
What I am saying is that, as more and more and more resolution is reached in a persons understanding of the complexity in what surrounds him, the clearer his path becomes.
Those are some words of wisdom coming from you! I certainly appreciate your thoughtul comment. Have a great Sunday. Tomas
Thanks man!
Don't know if it is the clearest way... but certainly one of the coolest. Put me in a forest hike with a pair of binoculars and I'm a happy man (I could walk in a forest all day, but apart from enjoying nature, I love to see wildlife, especially birds :). Sharing below a photo taken during a day trek in Taman Negara, an incredible national park in Malaysia. I misscalculated the time, and go so distracted with the nature and the company, that we ended up walking in the middle of the jungle (together with another tourist that also relaxed a bit too much) at night of over an hour until finally we reached the town again. Great adventure looking back, but being in a jungle at night, after a heavy rain, with leeches crawling up your legs, without an exactly clear path... let's just say it's funnier now :)
Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your story with some great pics. That is a great looking forest. Have a good one.
My pleasure! If you visit Malaysia and like jungle, this is a must. Enjoy the weekend!
staying the forest alone depends of the number of people around me ordinarily i don't like spending time in forest.....if you can stay all night in nigeria forest it means you will never know no fear in your life haha so scaring
Wonderful forests pictures.....we do not realize the importance of forest to the human life....we depend on forests for our survival...forests is very important in our life....forests play an important role in the purification of the Atmospheric air.....such a wonderful and important post...thanjs for sharing sir.
many thanks for the beautiful quote @czechglobalhosts
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
Hmmm John Muirs quotes are like my favourite ones. Some of them so well written and motivational. Thid one is brilliant too for a number of reasons and holds a great meaning. The best way to go through the universe is to go a through a wild forest, the reason behind is that you will discover millions of things you wont expect.
