Wandering in the Woods

“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully,
he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.”

~George Washington Carver

“I drank the silence of God from a spring in the woods.”

~Georg Trakl 

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping
than you can understand.

~William Butler Yeats, “The Stolen Child”

“Earth laughs in flowers.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You will find something more in woods than in books.
Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.”

~Saint Bernard
