No longer be content to look at nature passively, admiring its beauty. Tell yourself that, with your thoughts, with your love, you can work with nature so that it will open up to you. When you come to a river, a lake, a forest or a mountain, stop a while and greet them with a raised hand. You will feel something within you coming into balance, harmonizing, and many dark, heavy feelings will leave you, simply because you have decided to greet living nature and the creatures inhabiting it. You need only touch a stone with love – something within it will accept you and resonate with you and return your love.

Yes, really, everything in nature is alive, and it is up to you to know what you must do in order for this to become a reality for you. Once you are able to maintain a conscious relationship with creation, you will no longer feel alone or poor, for divine life itself will fill you with its blessings.
