The Importance of Nature


“Alienated from nature, human existence becomes a void, the wellspring of life and spiritual growth become utterly dry. Man grows ever more ill and weary in the midst of his curious civilisation that is but a struggle over a tiny bit of time and space.”
~Masanobu Fukuoka, The Natural Way of Farming~

“From Wakan Tanka, the Great Spirit, there came a great unifying force that flowed in and through all things- the flowers of the plains, blowing wind, rocks, trees, birds, animals- and was the same force that had been breathed into the first man. Thus all things were kindred, and were brought together by the same Great Mystery.”
~Luther Standing Bear, in Native American Wisdom by Kent Nerbern~
