What do people in a world devoid of beauty do? They return to nature. While, over the past decades, an artificial world has been fabricated to cover over true reality, there has interestingly also been an uptick in people camping, hiking, walking, fishing, and doing all manner of outdoor activities, especially in the past few years. While we are faced with all types of "screens" in our contemporary world, they are only a superficial film on top of a vast depth of beauty that is always there in God's created world.
