About This Quote
In the words of John Muir, "Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work." The quote “Nature is my manifestation of God” was a response to a question about how a person could explain being so close to nature on a daily basis without being affected by it. Muir was quick to explain that it wasn’t a matter of being unaffected by nature, but rather that he went to nature in order to find God. Again, in the same way that nature cannot be controlled or manipulated, so too can man’s relationship with his creator be affected by his actions in the world around him.
