If inspite of learning so much about our nature, we seem to give a damn about nature, what for are

we learning about nature?

Or is it, not, what we know about nature

but, how we know, what we know

In every walk with nature

one receives far more than he seeks. John Muir John Muir

I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day,And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.Joyce Kilmer
