A black man said: “I like to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting system, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.” MacKinlay Kantor, a writer speaks of a special moment as “an instant in which one experiences an upsurgence of appreciation of Nature, of Humanity, of intricate Life at Large - a feeling of belonging, of thankfulness over the mere possession of appetites and ambitions and powers - a gratitude toward all Creation. ...
