Nature

Living In Choice is a synergy of living energies flowing together in loving attendance.

The American Poet, Ralph Waldo Emmerson (1802-1882), beautifully described Nature in this excerpt from an address to his Divinity School.

"A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Thus he is instructed in what is above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness. That which he venerates is still his own, though he has not realized it yet. He ought. He knows the sense of that grand word, though his analysis fails to render account of it. When in innocency or when by intellectual perception he attains to say, - "I love the Right; Truth is beautiful within and without for evermore. Virtue, I am thine; save me; use me; thee will I serve, day and night, in great, in small, that I may be not virtuous, but virtue"; then is the end of creation answered, and God is well pleased.

It is well to remember WE are not separate and apart from Nature - but are inseparable from it. She is in us and we in her!
