epiphany (or however it is spelled)

Upon my family trip to Pedernales Falss State Park I had a giant epiphany. I am already some what of a modern nature freak or as i say transcendentalist. Back on topic, I realized how not only beautiful nature is but also powerfall (both metaphorically and literally). Pedernales Falls is a great place to sip a taste of nature. With a the Perdanales River running through a boulder feild in a canyon beauty is not running low. Experiencing the power of nature is not running low either with 10 foot waterfalls. The falls crashing upon the boulders after pludging the ten foot drop is only the tip of the iceberg under the aspect of power. This river running through the boulder feild in this canyon happens to be in a flash flood zone. A flash food is power among all other powers. Brown muddy water pushing 15,000 cfs through a canyon strikes you just as that of a shotgun slug would, with lots of energy and momentum, powerfull. With society after such a lust for power i would presume that nature would consequently have a super glue effect upon society due to such an unfathomable amount of power. Society is also greatly thriving upon the image of beauty. Yet the closest many get to experiencing such beauty is the computer screensaver, which hardly qualifies as the same thing. The force driving people from, or suppressing people from experiencing nature is obviously the unnecessary comforts of modern society (technology). In the book "Into the Wild" i read "it is not always important to be strong but it always important to feal strong" to test yourself in ways out of your normal lifestyle. So more should test theirselves by trekking into nature to see what their is to see. Back to Pedernales and my epiphany. I have a longing to share nature with others for the sake of love and preservation. The more people that care the more likely for preservation. I believe the best way to achieve such a goal is obviously to get people caring or intrested. How? By sparking an interest in people of all ages. Again, how? By taking those who do not have a chance for everday experience by finding a love for nature within. For example, take your friends and loved ones to places like rock climbing walls if they like it take them rock climbing. Take them kayaking, hiking, or camping. Sign up kids for boyscouts to see how they like camping. Society obviously still maintains some love with nature. This is seen through obvious signs such as computer screen savers and parks in cities to name a few. Lets put passion for nature back into society. Maybe america will loose a couple pounds at worst.
