Tension confuses. Our vision blurs. But in the natural world we may find new strength and a fresh outlook on the world. Each of us can find something in nature. In her soil and waters: the bounty of food. In her rocks and trees: the means of shelter. In her animals and plants: the stuff of clothing.
In nature’s creations: a model for our own.
In nature’s mysteries: food for our thoughts.
In nature’s beauty: havens for our leisure.
Each of us can find something in himself.
Man improves upon nature.
Man escapes his earthly bonds.
Man teaches death to keep his distance.
Man unravels the substance of the universe.
Man reaches for the stars.
At the end of man’s quest is freedom.
Freedom of the heart…
