Looking for books that are the equivalent of a long walk in a forest, listening to lo-fi beats, or one of those adult coloring books (lemmy.world)

If that even makes sense. Perhaps I'm wishing for a book that doesn't or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It's ok if it's deep and thought provoking, but doesn't have to be. It should not have conflict.

When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.

I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I've struggled to enjoy.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Did the first/last 100 mile stretch in Maine in September. We were wet or above the cloud line for 2 of the three weeks. It was rough.
