“When I quiet myself and look up at the stars or the mountains in the horizon

in every direction…I realize how insignificant

my plight on this earth is.”

“In the desert in Northern Arizona…Humans are not superior to nature. We

[are] constantly at the mercy of the heat, thrashing wind or rare snow. Water [is] a

precious commodity that we haul and use sparingly….It is delusional to believe

that humans can control nature; we must adjust ourselves to learn to live within its

means.”

“Knowledge that I have gained from nature is to appreciate what I have

because it may not last forever. Being surrounded by nature has

helped me understand that things can easily be taken away, and one must do what they can to enjoy

what is given to them.”

“When I am out in nature, experiencing it with just me and

my camera, I gain a new peace that isn’t felt in the city. I have come to

understand how important it is that we have a place like that to go to. We need to do what we can to

keep places like this around.”

“I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge about

myself by observing nature and humbling myself. By caring less about my personal silly drama

and turning my attention to something I see as holy.”

“Nature has taught me to be kind to the earth….If I do not respect the earth, the Ocean will not be as beautiful due to our littering. Nature is a wonderful thing, and we do not want to pollute it, or our future

will not get to enjoy hiking in the mountains or walking on the beach

because it can become too contaminated and polluted to go near these beautiful

places.”

“One thing that I learned from nature is

that almost everything can heal.”

“I have learned that the laws of gravity and physics can

not be broken. I have learned that we need to cherish our

resources because once they’re gone, we can’t get

them back.”

love color.”

“I have learned from natural things how simple and pure life was meant to be.

Food for example, when tended by [humans] the earth gave forth for our

survival. Everything we needed to survive came from the Earth in the beginning.

When [humans] started trying to ‘improve things’ with preservatives, pesticides, or

genetic modifications to even basic seedlings, health declined.”
