Visit these places and take notice of these times whenever you can and allow yourself to feel and enjoy their energy. One of these may be a favorite spot of yours. Go there often and explore new ones whenever the inspiration strikes you. As a bonus, bless the place with the touch of your creativity- maybe a colorful ribbon, an arrangement of twigs, or a simple stack of rocks. Whatever you do, feel your energy combine with the spirit of place and time in a joyful dance and leave behind some of your love to brighten and enliven things as it's absorbed into Gaia herself, who gives all of us  her blessings daily. Magick can be found anywhere if you're willing to see it, if you're willing to feel it and express it.  So be free!

I so agree with this. Most of humanity is separated from nature, and even from the recognition of the energy signatures—and even the metaphors—of some manmade structures such as bridges and basements. I think this awareness is vital and mostly missing from the consciousness of humanity at this time. It is the magical world a child lives in, being present and interacting with the abundance of this reality, beyond typical human concerns, and this source of renewal and connection has great power in it.

Beyond the environs of this planet I love to interact with the life forms on it. I love to watch insects for example, which is something most people would think is slightly nuts. But there is such exquisite beauty in them, and not just butterflies. When I catch scorpions to take them outside (in a glass) as they occasionally find a way into the house, I can't help but marvel at the beauty of their machine-like and amazingly designed bodies.

Once one gets out of the "maelstrom" and connects with nature rather than the focus being on other people and the human dramas, otherwise untapped energies become available. The ocean for instance carries so much healing and renewal. Canyons and mountains widen the mind's perspectives. Walking in forests instills so much peace and calm. And so on.
