Now, as then, despite his opened ears, he could distinguish no words, but clearly he understood its mingled themes - the joy of Spring's awakening, rebirth, with the green life streaming singing up through every bough, swelling the buds, burgeoning with tender leaves the branches; the dance of the trees in the scented winds of Spring; the drums of the jubilant rain on leafy hoods; passion of Summer sun pouring its golden flood down upon the trees; the moon passing with stately step and slow and green hands stretching up to her and drawing from her breast milk of silver fire; riot of wild gay winds with their mad pipings and strummings; - soft interlacing of boughs, the kiss of amorous leaves - all these and more, much more that McKay could not understand for it dealt with hidden, secret things for which man has no images.('The Women Of The Woods').","author":"Abraham Grace Merritt","tags":["bird","moon","natural","nature","pagan","spring","tree","trees"],"id":1513,"author_id":"Abraham+Grace+Merritt"},{"text":"When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.","author":"Nhat Hanh","tags":["work","body","natural "],"id":3752,"author_id":"Nhat+Hanh"},{"text":"I like the outdoors and the natural world.

Borne away on the wings of his genius, have you hovered over the illimitable abyss of the past as if a magician's hand were holding you aloft? As one penetrates from seam to seam, from stratum to stratum and discovers, under the quarries of Montmartre or in the schists of the Urals, those animals whose fossilized remains belong to antediluvian civilizations, the mind is startled to catch a vista of the milliards of years and the millions of peoples which the feeble memory of man and an indestructible divine tradition have forgotten and whose ashes heaped on the surface of our globe, form the two feet of earth which furnish us with bread and flowers. Is not Cuvier the greatest poet of our century? Certainly Lord Byron has expressed in words some aspects of spiritual turmoil; but our immortal natural historian has reconstructed worlds from bleached bones.","author":"Honoré de Balzac","tags":["baron-georges-cuvier","civilization","cuvier","discoverer","discovery","feeble","fossils","genius","geology","george-byron","george-gordon-byron","george-gordon-noel","george-gordon-noel-byron","georges-cuvier","historian","immensity","lord-byron","memory","mind","montmartre","natural","poet","poetry","science","space","time","treatise","turmoil","urals"],"id":16338,"author_id":"Honor%C3%A9+de+Balzac"},{"text":"The human has genetic adaptation to natural electromagnetic radiation.
