  1. What knowledge have you gained from natural things?

  2. “When I quiet myself and look up at the stars or the mountains in the horizon in every direction…I realize how insignificant my plight on this earth is.”

  3. “In the desert in Northern Arizona…Humans are not superior to nature. We [are] constantly at the mercy of the heat, thrashing wind or rare snow. Water [is] a precious commodity that we haul and use sparingly….It is delusional to believe that humans can control nature; we must adjust ourselves to learn to live within its means.”

  4. “Knowledge that I have gained from nature is to appreciate what I have because it may not last forever. Being surrounded by nature has helped me understand that things can easily be taken away, and one must do what they can to enjoy what is given to them.”

  5. “I have learned the circle of life, that in order for one to have another must die.”

  6. “One of the most important things I have learned from nature is both water and wind can be a stronger force than you think.”

  7. “When I am out in nature, experiencing it with just me and my camera, I gain a new peace that isn’t felt in the city. I have come to understand how important it is that we have a place like that to go to. We need to do what we can to keep places like this around.”

  8. “I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge about myself by observing nature and humbling myself. By caring less about my personal silly drama and turning my attention to something I see as holy.”

  9. “Life is beautiful and precious.”

  10. “Nature has taught me to be kind to the earth….If I do not respect the earth, the Ocean will not be as beautiful due to our littering. Nature is a wonderful thing, and we do not want to pollute it, or our future will not get to enjoy hiking in the mountains or walking on the beach because it can become too contaminated and polluted to go near these beautiful places.”

  11. “One thing that I learned from nature is that almost everything can heal.”

  12. “I have learned that the laws of gravity and physics can not be broken. I have learned that we need to cherish our resources because once they’re gone, we can’t get them back.”

  13. “Nature has taught me patience and to love color.”

  14. “I have learned from natural things how simple and pure life was meant to be. Food for example, when tended by [humans] the earth gave forth for our survival. Everything we needed to survive came from the Earth in the beginning. When [humans] started trying to ‘improve things’ with preservatives, pesticides, or genetic modifications to even basic seedlings, health declined.”

  15. What did Emerson learn from nature…?
