“Wonderful how completely everything in wild nature fits into us, as if truly part and parent of us. The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love” – John Muir, “Mountain Thoughts”
Whenever I take a walk in the woods, my heart is filled and soul soothed. My mind is eased and the chatter is stopped. This is my grove, a collection of photographs from forests and mountains all across the Earth. For cleaning the air so we may breathe, thank you forests. May we protect these ecosystems, as they are vital to all life on Earth. We are part of a system, interconnected, one.
