Nature

I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.

When I saw how many people were objecting to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope atop Mauna Kea, I realized that there needed to be an open and honest discussion about the toxicity of the 13,796 feet very high altitude summit and the health and safety issues of astronomical observatories.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.

Going to the woods is going home.

The moon blows kisses to the evening primrose.

Look around and see the wonderful beauty in the world around you.

The beautiful world!

Nature paces its change in gradual steps, and in this time of renewal, I danced in sync to the rhythm of life.

Fear, separation, hate and anger come from the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities, the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive. That is a dualistic way of seeing.

For all of nature's wonder and beauty, it is also hostile and unpredictable.

Running in the wind, in the pollen and dust, a flower in flight.

I must have flowers, always, and always.

You can't fool nature.

Some of the natural world is appealing, some of it is terrifying, and some of it grosses us out. Modern people don't want to be dropped naked into a swamp. We want to tour Yosemite with our water bottles and G.P.S. Devices. The natural world is a source of happiness and fulfillment, but only when prescribed in the right doses.

All life on earth is inextricably bound together in a web of mutual interdependence.

Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams.

The splendor of God is displayed in the stars with the magnificent of the moon.

I’ve always found wildlife very calming-- except when animals are eating each other, of course.

Sometimes, the waves grow hushed, but the sea is always there, touching, caressing, eating the earth...
