The Sun, Rises

“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
– Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
“The sun shines not on us but in us… The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and; tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.”
– John Muir, Mountain Thoughts
