“Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas;

rest your spirit in her solitary places.”

from The Outermost House, by

Henry Beston

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.”
