Come out into Nature—not the nature of maps and marked paths—not even the nature of America or any particular country—but the Nature of God…and of yourself. That Nature is filled with whispers of ruling powers which inhabit trees and flowers, streams and mountains. They will feed your inspiration and speak to you in your own immortal language. There is such sweetness and loveliness, profound lessons of law and justice, mystic messages, and virtues “civilized” man has yet to learn. And freedom! No wealth of mere possession can buy the sheer luxury of such freedom; it comes only by the grace of God to a heart attuned to creation’s glory. Time “lost” in Nature is priceless. It is also healing. It will take the aches out of your joints and mind, preserving health and harmony and uplifting your spirits.
