Spending quality time with Mother Nature feeds our creativity, washes our worries clean, and nurtures the soul. These nature quotes are some of my favorite reminders of the beauty that’s all around us.
“Pursue some path however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” – Henry David Thoreau
Being in nature is not only a form of stress relief, but wildness is a necessity. Going into the forest is home. Rivers and streams and waterfalls and lakes are the fountains of life. The blue water, the green field, the brown dirt, and the yellow flower are testaments to the simple miracle of being alive.
Nature gives us so much to enjoy and to express gratitude for. If we’re just willing to see past the drama and trauma of our realities, we can see through to the beauty that’s everywhere still, and sit in presence with what we see to be miraculous.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” – Anne Frank Click To TweetThere’s so much to see, to hear, to smell, to feel beneath our feet, to touch with our hands, to imagine with our minds, and to love with our entire being.
So many walk through life blind to the stunning magnificence of our existence here in the way that we are; we need just open our hearts to see how beautiful life already is, and can be for us.
We’re not responsible for what we see in the world, but for how we perceive it. Choose to see the light and to see the love that fuels all life, and you might just be transported into a world where peace is natural. Everything changes when we change.
May these nature quotes remind you that if you’re patient enough, quiet enough, and curious enough, nature will speak all kinds of peace to you, and in that silence you’ll hear the answers.
