“Nature knows how to calm our turbulent minds when we trust ourselves into the silence and stillness of her embrace. Amongst nature we come to remember the wisdom of our inner nature.
A day in nature helps your body unclench. You recover a deeper rhythm. The tight agendas, tasks and worries fall away and you begin the realise the magnitude and magic of being here.” ~ Celtic poet John O’Donohue |
