What a lovely experience. I agree, nothing makes us feel more alive than being in nature and feeling all at once that it can both heal and crush us. It's a rush.

I love what you said: 'that it can both heal and crush us.' Exactly this!

Beautiful words about your favourite wild place, thanks Lucinda. And that gorgeous photo with the stars above the beach. I love the term - altered state of consciousness - applied to being in nature. It is a most wonderful feeling, perhaps it is awe. And thank you for sharing my story too. I am so grateful to have friends in writing and nature.
