"I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness. If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. he makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this."
Henry David Thoreau,
January 3, 1853
Today a snowshoe hike helped draw me outside myself in order to become fascinated by the larger world spread out all around me :)
