To be nature-connected means to be open and aware of the effects of the season: how the change affects your moods and activities, and how your experience is mirrored in the natural world, and vice versa.

Bonnie Raitt is one of my favorite examples, not because her story is one of instand sober gratification, but because it shows what can happen when you keep going.

Someone told me years ago, Nature is your church, and I was surprised she said that, because at the time, it was more like my gym.

I was almost trembling as i stood there, watching the rear of the bus get smaller as it rumbled away.
