The problem with Samadhi is its not the result of a formula. Formulae lead to worldly things and states. The world works on formulae, but is always surprised when things turn out differently from what we expected. The future is always unexpected.
This unexpected is the nature of Samadhi. That's possibly unhelpful, but it means we don't spend time searching for something like we normally do. Just let all this search and need for definite things go.
Nature is good for this because at its heart is no formula. There is no reason for nature, it makes no sense, and that is its wonder.
So we sit with that nothing in particular nature of nature, the mystery and wonder that children feel and if that lets the formulae and narrative drift off for a bit that is perfect.
