ature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

Edward O. Wilson

hen we touch this domain, we are filled with the cosmic force of life itself, we sink our roots deep into the black soil and draw power and being up into ourselves. We know the energy of the numen and are saturated with power and being. We feel grounded,  centered, in touch with the ancient and eternal rhythms of life. Power and passion well up like an artesian spring and  creativity dances in celebration of life. 

David N. Elkins, The Sacred as Source of Personal Passion and Power

Beauty
& Harmony
part two

hen the healthy nature of man acts as a whole, when he feels himself to be in the world as in a great, beautiful, noble, and valued whole, when harmonious ease affords him a pure and free delight, then the universe, if it could experience itself, would exult, as having attained its goal, and admire the climax of its own becoming and essence.

Goethe

obody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like having a friend takes time.

Georgia O'Keeffe

   atural objects themselves, even when they make no claim to beauty, excite the feelings, and occupy the imagination. Nature pleases, attracts, delights, merely because it is nature. We recognize in it an Infinite Power.

Karl Wilhelm Humboldt
