In this light, my spirit saw through all things
and into all creatures,
and I recognized God in grass and plants.
- Jacob Boehme
The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.
- Elbert Hubbard
Listen to all the teachers in the woods.
Watch the trees, the animals and all living things -
you'll learn more from them than from books.
- Joe Coyhis
I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. Look at
the sun: If there is no sun, then we cannot exist. So nature is my god.
To me, nature is sacred; trees are my temples and forests are
my cathedrals.
- Mikhail Gorbachev, 1990
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our
own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
- Dalai Lama
Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants,
can become windows to the inner life. The simple act of
stopping and looking at the beauty around us can be prayer.
- Patricia R. Barrett, The Sacred Garden, 2001
So will I build my altar in the fields,
And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be,
And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields
Shall be the incense I will yield to thee.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
