I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.
What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!
Man’s heart away from nature becomes hard.
How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.
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.
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.
Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers — for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.
