To be able to see Nature as the manifestation of a divine spirit is a Gift as well as Joy. Unfortunately, ever so often we are distracted by the noise of yearning for the material things drumming inside our heads and forcing us to run the endless circles inside a hampster`s wheel. Words uttered by visionaries might show us the way we missed to see ourselves. Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of them. His words resonate with the truth that denies boundaries of time and space.

Pick any sight and you`ll see the fences humans have made to emphasize the line between "in" and "out", "you" and "I". They think they OWN the land, cause they put their silly borders marking their property. In fact they divided the unity according to their own divided minds. Despite the net of real estate owners criss-crossing the earth, "nobody owns the landscape" says Emerson, and I would add that only a few can truly see it. "Few adult persons can see nature. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child."

Many times I hear these words uttered by strangers : " Who cares about the trees and the water and the clouds? It is boring. Let`s DO something." Once upon a time, I felt that way too. But now I know that "the ruin or the blank that we see when we look at nature, is in our own eye".

Once I thought I knew what was important and what I thought I knew was so fixed in my mind that I didn`t feel the need to question the source of my "knowledge". Still, I looked for something that had always been within my reach. I`ve learned that "the invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common".
