Thoughts on camping in remote and "beautiful" areas

Nature is like death, the more you see of it, the more desensitized you are to it.

But isn't that the same with everything?

In a few moments I will have hit my limit and I will find no more beauty in my surroundings

Nor will I find beauty when I return to my dull urban habitat, that of cement and steel.

Nor will I find beauty in myself, as I have often been told that I am beautiful and seeng what I can do, I can not see evidence.

Nor will I find beauty in freedom, being that there is always a price to freedom and that is not always pretty.

You ask what will be beautiful, I tell you that anything can be if it is loved by someone or something.

You ask what is beautiful, I tell you that once it is seen by human eyes it is tarnished and ugly.

You ask... and I cut you off, saying that it is up to you.
