The Living Question: Nature

When one is in the midst of Nature, of what should one think? Does it help us in any way to be in contact with Nature?

It is not through thought that one can be in contact with Nature, for Nature does not think.

But if you deeply feel the beauty of Nature and commune with her, that can help in widening the consciousness.

To love Nature is usually the sign of a being sane and pure whom modern civilisation has not corrupted. It is in the silence of a quieted mind that one can best commune with Nature.
