Ya boi Sheev loves ecocriticism

Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Darth Croco the Dile?

I have really enjoyed Ecocriticism, which may not be apparent because my standard mode in class is "silence with a few interjections". But the concept of being seduced by nature as in The Yellow Woman was my immediate, go-to understanding of the story; the concept of desiring something nearly tangible in the environment as in Land and Language of Desire came naturally to me—pardon the pun.
Maybe its my yoga practice, trying to see the beauty and equality of all things, maybe its having grown up outside of a city, sweating and stargazing outside, maybe its something else, I don't know—I'm just totally on board with this critical school of deep melancholy, joy, and personal experience.

With that in mind, my question does veer toward the personal rather than the theoretical:

Is there a specific place in nature that you've felt truly free—liberated—at peace? Where? Why? This has happened to me only once.

If that's too esoteric: where is your favorite place that you've discovered in nature? Why?
