The clearest way to the Universe is through a forest wilderness

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul

Tug on anything at all and you'll find it connected to everything else in the universe.
