On sunshine and space

I have to agree with everyone that rain is extremely thought provoking. It's something completely unreal, especially if I'm by myself.

There's also something to be said about sunshine and space. I find that when it's quite sunny outside, and I go out to a field by myself and just lie on the grass and look at the sky, a lot of thoughts form. And even if I can't remember everything I've thought about, it's a good place to just forget about problems and go through the clouds. Or when I'm alone on a hill on a sunny day, looking out around a field or the neighbourhood, seeing people walk in and out of their houses, wondering what they were doing just before.

In general, I find that the weather can provoke a lot of different feelings and thoughts. Not only that but being alone outside with a lot of space allows for my mind to wander and, well, think outside the box. Be it rain, snow, sunshine, or wind, being alone outside is amazing for my thought processes.

Even better is when you are joined by someone else out there with all that space and weather whirling around and talk about anything. And you can talk about life and reflect on what one usually finds is stupid and useless like the number of blades of grass on the hill. Or what the wind could tell you if it was living with the ability to hear, see, and speak.

So I guess it's really having some space, freedom, and time to just forget the rules and pressure put on us by our crazy lives. That's when I get the most done. In my head, anyway.
