Nature

"The love of nature begins with the love for God"

"You cannot describe the beauty of nature in words, you cannot capture the feeling of God in camera. Its about the moment you set yourself free and live it."

"HE wants you to feel HIM in any possible way you can, but you lazy bird, come on, make a step and you will feel all you got to feel."

"Nature plays its role to strengthen the connection."

"The essence is HIS presence."

"How strange it is beholding this,and, very confident,proclaim that such magnificenceoccurred by accident."

"The splendor of God is displayed in the stars with the magnificent of the moon."

"Milton's Eve! Milton's Eve! ... Milton tried to see the first woman; but Cary, he saw her not ... I would beg to remind him that the first men of the earth were Titans, and that Eve was their mother: from her sprang Saturn, Hyperion, Oceanus; she bore Prometheus" --"Pagan that you are! what does that signify"I say, there were giants on the earth in those days: giants that strove to scale heaven. The first woman's breast that heaved with life on this world yielded the daring which could contend with Omnipotence: the stregth which could bear a thousand years of bondage, -- the vitality which could feed that vulture death through uncounted ages, -- the unexhausted life and uncorrupted excellence, sisters to immortality, which after millenniums of crimes, struggles, and woes, could conceive and bring forth a Messiah. The first woman was heaven-born: vast was the heart whence gushed the well-spring of the blood of nations; and grand the undegenerate head where rested the consort-crown of creation. ... I saw -- I now see -- a woman-Titan: her robe of blue air spreads to the outskirts of the heath, where yonder flock is grazing; a veil white as an avalanche sweeps from hear head to her feet, and arabesques of lighting flame on its borders. Under her breast I see her zone, purple like that horizon: through its blush shines the star of evening. Her steady eyes I cannot picture; they are clear -- they are deep as lakes -- they are lifted and full of worship -- they tremble with the softness of love and the lustre of prayer. Her forehead has the expanse of a cloud, and is paler than the early moon, risen long before dark gathers: she reclines her bosom on the ridge of Stilbro' Moor; her mighty hands are joined beneath it. So kneeling, face to face she speaks with God. That Eve is Jehova's daughter, as Adam was His son."

"We must imagine our lives well. We must engage our conscience. Conscience is the voice of God in the nature and heart of man."

"Woods are grim places. Farmers shoot squirrels, crows, magpies, and hang them up on trees to warn Mother Nature to get it together or else. Much notice she takes, being in league with God. They're a right pair, more carnage than the rest of us put together."

"Praise be to God I’m not good,And have the natural egotism of flowers And rivers following their bed Preoccupied without knowing it Only with blooming and flowing. This is the only mission in the World,This—to exist clearly,And to know how to do it without thinking about it.)"

"What does this think about that?Nothing thinks about anything. Does the earth have consciousness of its stones and plants?If it did, it would be people. . . Why am I worrying about this?If I think about these things,I’ll stop seeing trees and plants And stop seeing the Earth For only seeing my thoughts... I’ll get unhappy and stay in the dark. And so, without thinking, I have the Earth and the Sky."

"If I die very young, hear this:I was never anything but a kid playing. I was a heathen like the sun and the water,I had the universal religion only people don’t have. I was happy because I didn’t ask for anything at all,Or tried to find anything,And I didn’t find any more explanation Than the word explanation having no meaning at all."

"And I find a happiness in the fact of accepting —In the sublimely scientific and difficult fact of accepting the inevitable natural."

"We are here to witness. There is nothing else to do with those mute materials we do not need. Until Larry teaches his stone to talk, until God changes his mind, or until the pagan gods slip back to their hilltop groves, all we can do with the whole inhuman array is watch it."

"What have we been doing all these centuries but trying to call God back to the mountain, or, failing that, raise a peep out of anything that isn't us? What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are not they both saying: Hello? We spy on whales and on interstellar radio objects; we starve ourselves and pray till we're blue."

"There is something deep within us that sobs at endings. Why, God, does everything have to end? Why does all nature grow old? Why do spring and summer have to go?"

"Strange how it is that men never act crueler than when they're fighting for the sake of an idea. We've been killing since Cain over who stands closer to god. It seems to me that cruelty is just in the way of things. You drive yourself mad if you take it all personal. Those who hurt you don't have the power over you they would like. That's why they do what they do."

"THE THREE LAWS OF ALLYou are never to worship a living soul,Except for three entities:Three - YOUR FATHERTwo - YOUR MOTHERAnd one - HE WHO IS ALL. To begin to study All Things,You must start with only three things:Man,Nature,And the universe. All three are a reflection of each other. So simply study one,To understand the other. All of creation started with JUST three things,And no living thing was created without them:Water,Light,And dust. Know these three basic laws. And you will come to know He Who Is All. Forever big, yet sometimes small,He is found in the heart Of everything. Suzy Kassem Poetry, Truth is Crying"

"Night doesn’t fall for my eyes But my idea of the night is that it falls for my eyes. Beyond my thinking and having any thoughts The night falls concretely And the shining of stars exists like it had weight."
