“To connect with God, we first have to connect with nature, and to connect with nature, we have to awaken to the dark. That is why he (Rebbe Nachman) advised his disciples to follow a solitary path into the darkness outside the city, and to enlist the aid of plants and flowers once they got there. To follow nature and return to nature—that itself was the path to God.”
~Clark Strand, Waking Up to the Dark,
Ancient Wisdom for a Sleepless Age
“We have to shift our attitude of ownership of nature
to relationship with nature. The moment you change
from ownership to relationship,
you create a sense of the sacred.”
~Satish Kumar

I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.’
