" Every walk to the woods is a religious right, every bath in the stream is a saving ordinance. Communion service is at all hours, and the bread and the wine are from the heart and marrow of Mother Earth. There are no heretics in Natures church, all are communicants. The beauty of natural religion is that you have it all the time; you do not have to seek it afar off in myths and legends; in catacombs, in garbled texts; in miracles of dead saints or wine-bibbing friars. It is of today; it is now and here; it is everywhere."
- John Burroughs :- American naturalist, reprinted from essays in Naturalism 1920
