Not dissonance, but rather the notion of balance between the human-constructed world and then the natural world; I can find respite in both, but usually I think of respite as “time-away” or “time to seek relief” from the status quo or typical pattern in living, existence, or Being. There are many ways for this to “happen” - but with nature there can be respite and awe and beauty and the sheer benefits of appreciating the natural world with landscapes that check hubris and provide joy at being alive in the moment - even if it is being in a kayak and watching an Orca pod heading directly your way… breathe !!!
