Alone I be, Alone I stand
watching over this watery land.
Like a statue standing tall
I blend with nature body and all.
Patience is a virtue of mine
I often wait for hours at a time.
In the cold of the morning the sun I seek
warming my body, but mostly my feet.
In all that I do, in all that I am
my life depends on the changes in man.
For he alone holds the key for nature to survive
in this world for us all to stay alive.
-Here I Am/Carrie
Nature is man’s teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence.
-Alfred Billings Street
Nature Thrives on patience; man on impatience.
-Paul Boese
Look deep into nature, and then you understand everything better.
-Albert Einstein
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
-Lao Tzu
In solitude, when we are least alone.
-Lord Byron
I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
-Henry David Thoreau
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. ~Rachel Carson
