I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. There is not any part of me that is alone and absolute except my mind, and we shall find that the mind has no existence by itself, it is only the glitter of the sun on the surfaces of the water.
~ D.H. Lawrence

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Khalil Gibran
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars. ~ Walt Whitman
