That began the most spiritual semester for me , but among other things , it changed my relationship with the divine . Two or three nights , I remember wanting to go for a walk as I lamented the fact that I 'd been sitting down most of the time , either spending time online or doing homework . I needed to get OUT , and it did n't particularly matter where . I thought I might try the woods or something . I went out , anyway , with no fixed destination in mind , but simply the idea of -walking- .

How does spending time in nature connect to the development of a connection with one 's higher power ?
Nature is a peaceful , quiet place , one that is well suited for serene contemplation and meditative states
