Nature Is What We See

“Nature” is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse—
the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity."

Emily Dickinson

"Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces "nice" people, not heroes."

"God is near

Yet hard to seize.

Where there is danger,

The rescue grows as well.

Eagles live in the darkness,

And the sons of the Alps

Go fearlessly over the abyss

Upon bridges simply built.

Therefore, since the peaks

Of Time are heaped all about,

And dear ones live close by,

Worn down on the most separated mountains—

Then give us innocent waters;

Give us wings, and the truest minds

To voyage over and then again to return."

~Friedrich Hölderlin

"As in a mirror, he 'looks at himself again and again before performing an action; he looks at himself again and again before saying a word; he looks at himself again and again before harboring a thought.' It can easily be seen that by following such a path a man naturally transforms himself into a kind of living statue made up of awareness, into a figure pervaded by composedness, decorum, and dignity."
