About This Quote
For us, to feel the beauty of nature is to experience a sense of peace. We prefer to be in the presence of nature rather than away from it. We want to touch nature and see it up close, because it reminds us of the things that are important in life. It helps us heal our bodies and relax our minds, but most importantly, it liberates our spirits.
