Have you ever felt at one with the ocean, or the woods, or a snow-packed mountain as you are flying down the slope on skis? There is a deep communion that requires no words. In fact, words usually diminish this kind of sacred experience.
Nature speaks to something inside us. She speaks silently to us of something greater than language can express. You can’t put feelings of "oneness with the universe" into tiny containers of words. You can't pour the ocean into a thimble.
