After our discussion on Friday, I couldn't help but continue to think about how the landscape of a place makes us feel. For Tess, the darkness of the Chase mirrored her mind, as well as the happy environment of Talbathay's mirror how she felt there as well.
But connecting it back to us is interesting itself. I know personally that when I wake up, and it's snowy and overcast outside, I feel like that day will be dreary; just like the sky. On the other hand, if it's sunny and bright, the day seems like it will be promising.
Of course Tess' environments and situations are much different than ours, but it's not such a strange concept that there is a definite connection between the environment and how we feel.
Today is sunny already. It's going to be a fine day.
The heart of a person is like a sky reflected by water: one way or the other displaying the colors of the weather. Whether it is the blue color of hope, the warm colors of passion, the mysterious hues of gray found in the fog, or the ominous darkness of a starless night, people have this strange connection to their environment. Great work on examining the psychological aspect of natural environments for any person, really insightful.
