Who doesn’t want to run through an open field with their arms up like Maria in The Sound of Music? I don’t think there’s a single soul alive who wouldn’t want to do that, at least in their own way. Something about being in a wide open space just makes the heart feel free. As someone who grew up in cities my whole life, there’s something so attractive about a great stretch of nothingness. You start to imagine all that you could explore, all that you could see, all the room for activities. Being out in an open field instantly makes me want to do a cartwheel.
I have never really done a successful cartwheel but that hasn’t stopped me from trying every single time. Something about it just feels right. But oftentimes you don’t get access to a big open field. Sometimes it’s just offices and sidewalks and small apartments. That’s when we turn to the internet.
