Description
Nature-love as Emerson knew it,
and as Woodsworth knew it, and
as any of the choicer spirits
of our time have known it, has
a distinctly religious value.
It does not come to a man or
a woman who is wholly absorbed
in selfish or worldly or material
ends. Except ye become in a measure
of little children, ye cannot
enter the kingdom of Nature-
as Audubon entered it, as Thoreau
entered it, as Bryant and Amiel
entered it, and as all those enter it
who make a resource in their lives
and an instrument of their culture.
The forms and creeds of religion change,
but the sentiment of religion-
the wonder and reverence and love
we feel in the presence of the
inscrutable universe - persist....
If we do not go to church as much
as did our fathers, we go to the woods
much more, and are much more inclined
to make a temple of them than they were.
John Burroughs
American(1837-1921)
The main photograph was taken at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. Canada.
