Transcendentalism

I'm not entirely sure how people who have experienced the wonder of God's creation and then been sucked out of it and placed into man's fabrication can do anything but clamor for a return to nature.  This has grown to be a residual thought in my head at most all times and I've longed to really be alone.  I've come to determine that I experience God most through the natural world that he created.  While it does reaffirm within me a desire and an encouragement to get in touch with birds and trees and stuff.  Another part of me really questions why I don't see God in my everyday life more, when his presence screams at me from untarnished countryside.   There are so many intricacies of life that should should fascinate me and personalities that should entrance me and point to the divine.  I am reading Robinson Cruesoe and he was talking about how he was stranded on the island and deathly ill and prayed for deliverance.    he was praying for someone to come rescue him, but some time after he was healed he realized how his deliverance from his illness was plenty to be grateful for, later on he realized that his turning back to God to begin with and realizing his iniquity and being delivered from Sin was far greater than any physical act.  Similarly I feel like God's presence is not confined to where I have an easy time seeing Him, but that I should instead search for him in all facets of my life.
