We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing.

Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.

Being with nature opens us up to divine experience.

I think having nature be a part of people's lives helps all of us see ourselves as part of something larger.

In the rush of today's world, and with more than half of us now living in cities, the majority of people are less and less connected with the spectacle of nature.

Nature can always be more complicated than we imagine.

Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us.

We are creatures of the moment; we live from one little space to another, and only one interest at a time fills these.

Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels.
