THE STILLNESS OF NATURE

In the stillness of nature I have learned to listen to my inner voice, to follow my intuition and to explore new paths. I have learned that I need sun, water, clean air and that, in a way, I am like a tree: my passage through life must produce shade and fruits. But above all, nature has taught me something that I was never told at school — that I too am part of nature.
