The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ~Vincent Van Gogh
That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe. ~John Berger, The Sense of Sight, 1980
All things share the same breath – the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. ~John Muir
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
No matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied – it speaks in silence to the very core of your being.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labours of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received.
I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?
Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
Imagine connecting with the human spirit in each person in any situation at any time. Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone’s need to be equally valued. Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment.
If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. ~Hal Borland
To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them – these nature spirits who call us here – sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.
“We have nothing to fear and a great deal to learn from trees, that vigorous and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool, silent, and intimate hours.”
