“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” – John Burroughs.

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. Psalm 91:4
