Thank God they cannot cut down the clouds. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. ~ Chinese Proverb

My spiritual connection with nature is basically what we all have – you transcend yourself. It's what happens when you see a sunset, for example.

In nature there is no effect without cause; understand the cause and you will have no need of the experiment. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
