NATURAL BEAUTY

Rachel Carson (1907-1964) marine biologist and environmental conservationist and author of ‘Silent Spring,’ wrote,
“I am not afraid of being thought a sentimentalist when I say that I believe natural beauty has a necessary place in the spiritual development of an individual or a society. I believe that whenever we destroy beauty, or whenever we substitute something manmade and artificial for a natural feature of the earth, we have retarded some part of our spiritual growth.”
I am not afraid of that thought either. There are two clearly presented ways to even know about God and spiritual life and they are: nature and scripture.
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Jesus
