the forest and the trees...and vice versa.

i love being outside. it's the reason i'm becoming an environmental engineer :) but what is it about looking at a rainy day from the inside-out that makes you glad (sometimes) that you're inside? don't get me wrong, i've done my share (and still love it) of playing in the rain, but sometimes the best part of the experience isn't an overload of your senses...sometimes food tastes better with your eyes closed, music sounds better in a dark room, and snow looks more beautiful from a spot next to the fire. simplicity.

of course not everything is this simple. never. ha ha :) but it definitely helps makes things more manageable, appreciating them for their parts so that you can better understand the whole.

note to self...do this more often :)
