Infinite Nature

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you
as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you
 and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.


- John Muir

Beauty of Nature

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy

is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,

alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel

that all is as it should be

and that God wishes to see people happy,

amidst the simple beauty of nature.

- Anne Frank

Weeds

A weed is simply a plant that wants to grow

where people want something else.

In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit.

Weeds are people's idea, not nature's.

Moved by Nature

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields

has power to move you,

if the simple things of nature have a message

that you understand,

rejoice,

for your soul is alive.

- Eleonora Duse

Beauty in Nature

Science will never be able to reduce

the value of a sunset to arithmetic.

Nor can it reduce friendship to formula.

Laughter and love, pain and loneliness,

the challenge of beauty and truth:

these will always surpass the scientific

mastery of nature.

- Louis Orr
