It's an open feeling, a sense of freedom, a sense of contentment in knowing what you're doing is for nature. There's a oneness with nature. You feel like you're working with nature, not just sailing over it.

Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to impart a quiet to the mind.

I spend probably six months of the year working outdoors three or four days a week.

It's almost embarrassing to tell people what you do because they don't understand what you do.

Rosa, what does freedom mean to you? It means to be content no matter where I am in life, to enjoy each moment of breath I take without thinking what's next, and if that question does come up, let it only be for the sole purpose of being happy or happier..

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
