Seasons

At Way of Life, we are always in awe of the natural world. We eagerly capture this realm in our work to communicate the good. The process of transformation, vivid in the passing of seasons, is fundamental to a sustainable world. Nature is reborn through continuous cycles, carefully constructed to sustain our lives.

A large portion of humanity has built its nest among the great cities and metropolitan spaces of the globe. Though they might be stunning in their structures, what are we missing? Birds build their nest among the trees, carefully engineered for safety and peace, a place they call home among a beautiful landscape.

A submersion in nature is undoubtedly beneficial for the body and mind, rekindling a balance sometimes shaken by a speeding world consistently further and further away from the humble bird’s nest. Home is not within the confines of a perfectly designed building; though the space is appealing, and we might find comfort in it, our true home is outside. Among the trees below the mountains, immersed in the hot sun and cold breeze, home is where the mind finds peace and the body finds balance.

Immersing yourself in nature is a necessary prescription to survive an uncertain future; though we cannot predict what will come next, we can certainly admire what stands before us now. Through capturing this essence of change, we hope to share our curiosity and admiration for the world to all.
