"Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world."

"The structure of the world itself, it functions on natural law, and the natural law is a powerful regenerative process. Its a process of regeneration that continues and grows and is endless. Its absolutely endless if everyone agrees to the law and follows the law. But if you challenge the law, and you think you are going to change the law, then you are bound to failure…"

~ John Trudell, Native American activist

"The fundamental illusion that modern humans need to wake up from now is the idea that we are somehow separate from Nature. We are not separate, we are Nature herself, in human form. We are a part of a greater Earth community, children of this living planet. Once this understanding becomes "common sense" for high technology cultures and civilizations, humanity will be able to solve the problems we've created, by believing we were somehow superior to other species and separate from our Mother, the Earth."

“We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.”

"When we speak of Nature it is wrong to forget that we are ourselves a part of Nature. We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire Universe."

~ Henri Matisse

"We are life. We are nature. We are Universe. Self-reflexive consciousness allows us different perspectives on this ever-transforming and evolving whole we participate in — this all that we are reflections of. We bring forth a world together, as embodied manifestations of the universe co-creating the world through how we participate and what we pay attention to and care about."

~ Daniel Christian Wahl

— Margaret Mead

“The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.”
— John Paul II

“Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.”
— John Ruskin

“Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.”
— President Jimmy Carter

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.”

"See simplicity in the complicated. Seek greatness in small things. In the Universe, the difficult things are done as if they were easy." ~ Lao Tsu

"The basic laws of the Universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation." ~ Albert Einstein

"The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics." ~ Galileo Galilei

Comment by Nada Jung on June 30, 2024 at 1:42pm: “Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”

― Kahlil Gibran, "Mirrors of the Soul".

Comment by Luna Arjuna on June 29, 2024 at 4:07pm: "Every child is born in the garden of humanity as a flower. Each flower differs from every other flower. There are many messages in our society that tell us, even when we’re young people, that there’s something wrong with us and that if we just buy the right product, or look a certain way, or have the right partner, that will fix it. As grown-ups, we can remind young people that they’re already beautiful as they are; they don’t have to be someone else." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Comment by Carmen Elsa Irarragorri-Wyland on January 28, 2024 at 7:06pm: Beautiful image and great and true thought!

Comment by Nada Jung on January 28, 2024 at 6:36am: "If a mystic is one who is sensibly or even sensuously aware of his inseparability as an individual from the total existing universe, he is simply a person who has become sensible, aware through his senses of the way ecologists see the world. So when I’m in academic circles I don’t talk about mystical experience. I talk about ecological awareness. Same thing."

- Alan Watts
