Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas rest your spirit in her solitary places.
More Quotes from Henry Beston:
A garden is the mirror of a mind. It is a place of life, a mystery of green moving to the pulse of the year, and pressing on and pausing the whole to its own inherent rhythms.Henry Beston
The seas are the heart's blood of the earth.
Henry Beston
Do no dishonour to the earth least you dishonour the spirit of man.
Henry Beston
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.
Henry Beston
As well expect Nature to answer to your human values as to come into your house and sit in a chair.
