Reflections

Nature is not a place to visit.

“The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.

“Trees are sanctuaries.

“To listen to trees, nature’s great connectors, is to learn how to inhabit the relationships that give life its source, substance, and beauty.

The Loss of a Tree “The loss of one tree stills a thousand songs.

“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.

“Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their families, their histories too.

“Looking at the Earth and the universe from the standpoint of awe, wonder and radical amazement at the grandeur and magnificent mystery of all being.

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less we shall have for destruction.

“It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
