"There is no better sight that is capable of simple adoration on a warm summer's day than that of a waterfall rippling through the rocks and vale or of a gentle stream meandering through woodlands.
One of the most fearful of deaths imaginable would be to die by drowning, but if water was ever the cause to end this life of mine, then my death would be all the sweeter if I could become part of this gentle flow and continue to forever remain a nourishing source of Nature's path when my earth life is over.
No greater love of Nature can any man have than to want to reside within it forevermore and to be a part of the love it brings to so many people at no more cost than a summer stroll and the boosting tonic of inhaling fresh air filled with the fragrance of country hedgerows and woodland meadows. I once recall reading the words (the source of which I cannot remember), 'The greatest inroad to discovering eternal happiness is to love Nature, for Nature is God and to love Nature is to love God'.
