A Park Ranger

Hi, today i'll talk about a job I would like to have, it is to be Park Ranger!!!
Imagine that! being 24 hours a day sorrounded by nature, working in nature, with nature, for nature,
I would love it, because i'm in love of nature, actually, for me, nature is the most similar thing to what can be named as 'god'. so working as a park ranger for me could be something like being a tibetan monk in a temple, a sacred job. I think it could be somehow lonely, unless you work with a staff of other peopole related to conservation and ecology, so together we could make management plans for the different areas, make environmental education to visitors, especially the kids, go and check the conditions of the plants, the waters, the animals, all the beings of the forest. Ah..that's something i was missing, i would like to be  a park ranger in a forest, it would be different in a desert, I need water and abundance, nevertheless i like deserts too, but not for living long terms there. Other thing i like about this, is that being in nature for a long time makes you conscious of the cycles around you, you are able to see right in front of you the stations passing by, the trees growing, the animals migrating, all that processes we cannot perceive in the city.
Up to now i haven't met anyone who has worked as a park ranger, but i've read lots of articles and experiences of people around the world who has done it. Conditions of work may be rude, but the possibility of being immerse in nature is the great award of taking the risk; after having the experience i'm sure you are not the same, you keep connected to that sacred spirit that nature is.
