"A living sense of unity with nature must be reached, till you can see yourself in every tree, in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every passing cloud, and realize that the manifold diversities which compose a valley or a garden or a wise panorama of mountain, sea and sky, are but expressions of the One Self which is in you, of which you are a part."
