Alliance With Nature Is A Cornerstone Of Our True Humanity

 When we begin to consider Nature as something to be robbed greedily
like an unguarded treasure, or used as an enemy, we put ourselves
in thought outside of Nature of which we are inescapably a part.

Be it storm and flood, hail and fire or the yielding furrow and
the fruitful plain, and alliance it is and that alliance is
a cornerstone of our true humanity.

Renewed Revelation Of Human Spirit Greatness

I realize again that one of the great functions of any art

is the constantly renewed revelation

of the possible greatness of the human spirit.

Wonder, Imagination And Surprise

A world without wonder,

and a way of mind without wonder,

becomes a world without imagination,

and without imagination humanity is a poor

and stunted creature.

Religion, poetry, and all the arts

have their sources in this upwelling

of wonder and surprise.

Let us thank God that so much will forever

remain out of reach, safe from our inquiry,

inviolate forever from our touch.

~ Henry Beston in Northern Farm
