“I understood at a very early age that in nature, I felt everything I should feel in church but never did. Walking in the woods, I felt in touch with the universe and with the spirit of the universe.” – Alice Walker
“Always in the big woods when you leave familiar ground and step off
alone into a new place there will be, along with the feelings of
curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is the ancient
fear of the Unknown, and it is your first bond with the wilderness you
are going into.”
