“If God fashioned us in order to share our consciousness of the world He made, then we have a sacred purpose and responsibility to rest our eyes and hearts upon Earth’s beauty so that our Creator might share it through our senses. This means carrying God in our hearts at all times, mindful of the purpose of God in placing us in Nature, our home and His.
It means coming home to Nature.”
