The first great wonder at the world is big in me.*
Margaret Wise Brown

Much of nature we consider beautiful because we are part of nature. We grew up in nature, evolutionary speaking.**
Alan Lightman

I don’t know about you, but
I need wonder to be bigger in me than it is;
Earth just keeps on giving, and a worthy
quest for the rest of my days is to
notice more – I am nature, as you are, and
I must unlearn to
be able to relearn.
