"In everything that exists in this universe, we can actually see many miracles." - Aristotle
That's the reason I love nature. Every Friday I feel like I want to scream... yeaahhh... it's finally Friday! Of course I'm really looking forward to the #TheWeekend contest. Even though I don't always participate every week, (like last week for example, I missed The Weekend for some reason. But, this week? NO! I have to participate.
Moreover, the theme of The Weekend contest this week is extraordinary. About Nature! Yeha!
Air, land, water, trees, sky, who can live without them? Even living things other than humans are a series of components that make us able to live.
Explain what aspect, animal, feature or terrain in nature you like the most and why: Clouds, forests, mountain peaks or plains, the beach, under the sea, arid environments, deserts, savanna, lakes, trees, flowers, mushrooms, wind , rain, thunder and lightning, animals, snow, ice, fjords, city parks and gardens...The choice is endless.
What aspect of nature do I like? uhm ... The story starts from now!
I really like mountains, that
doesn't mean I don't like anything else like the beach. I like both, but if I had to choose which one I like more, I would prefer mountains.
Mountains made me realize that we are nothing in this world. Mountains also taught me many things. When I was climbing a mountain, the thing I remember the most is, I didn't think that I could climb a mountain and stand on a mountain peak.
I remember very well, since childhood I did not have good health. I couldn't run too long because it would make my stomach hurt and my breath hitched. Can't go too fast either. I often get sick during gym class. Can you imagine how sad I am? I wanted to be a martial arts athlete, but I couldn't.
Then, when I grew up, I was eager to challenge myself. I'm sure my body is bigger than I thought. I also believe that kind thoughts can help us even in the most difficult times. So, in 2016, I made my first hike.
Go to Mount Gede in West Java with an altitude of 2958 above sea level. I can reach the top and I feel very happy. It's like I won a lottery with a big prize. My stomach is strong. I want to cry when I remember that first time.
Then, in the following years, I went to Mount Semeru which is the highest mountain on the island of Java, to Mount Rinjani, to Mount Prau, to Mount Lawu,etc
And every time I reach the top, I will continue to marvel at God and nature. I love blue skies, I love seas of clumpy clouds, and I love dew.
Don't I like almost all of them? LOL
But, all of them are very beautiful and I can't choose one of them.
You know what I love most about mountain climbing?
Edelweiss!
In Indonesia, Edelweiss flowers will only be found after an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. In Indonesia, Edelweiss is a flower protected by the state, and climbers are not allowed to pick it. if it is done, climbers can be penalized.
I also really like the smell of trees in the forest. The only scent I'd want to take home if I could. I love the energy that comes out of the trees. I love the positive energy I can bring home.
I was born in a village with blue skies, but I grew up and worked in a dense city where the sky wouldn't even appear a star because it was covered in polluted air.
So, when the day of leave comes, I will go on a pleasant trip to the mountains.
One day I want to Basecamp Everest! Please support me!
Thank you hive for reading my story. Looking forward to your stories too!

Hi, I am the child of the universe, I like to read books with various genres. I was born in the city of batik but can't draw batik yet. I want to be a novelist, but my works are only short poems that are included in anthology books.
please share my content if you feel my content is good for everyone to read. Thank you. Let's be friends!
almost the same as me. This is the reason why I'm a little worried about climbing the mountain
maybe I should try climbing the mountain by applying this spirit of yours 😁
Yes, right. I used to feel what you feel too. Come on you have to try it!
Ah nice to meet a fellow woman who loves the mountains here!
Are you from the Netherlands? And we are the same age. Wow, it would be really nice if one day I might go to... your place and we hike together?
Thank for supporting me, @plint 🥰

Keep your healthy, Plint.🥰
Glad you were able to climb the mountains and get up there to the top! That’s great. Mountains are definitely one of my favorite places to be! Very beautiful and great to sit and enjoy the clean fresh air!
Yes indeed. Hmm ... during the pandemic I didn't climb and I really missed the atmosphere at the top of the mountain. I hope the pandemic ends soon. Take care of your health, @cmplxty
