No Pride in Nature

If ever a nerve-soother for neurotic city dwellers, it can be found in the verdant world of Nature...

Lost in the feverish scramble for existence in today's hectic turmoil are the beautiful wonders found in parks and forest reserves.


If ever there was a nerve-soother for neurotic city dwellers, it can be found in the verdant world of Nature.


Just to scuffle leaves underfoot acts as a calming drug, more powerful than that of any prescribed medication, to business-weary minds.


The trickle of brooks as they search their way down hillsides brings musical solace.


Here and there a tremendous fallen giant tree partly blocks the path - a symbol of age and strength.


It grew along paths of least resistance, attained its destined height through natural processes and then resigned itself to death peacefully.


Not so with human beings -- push fate and challenge destiny is their motto. Result:
          -Premature Death-


Look at this stream following a crooked course to join a larger branch.


Gravity, Nature's first law, commands that it follow down-hill courses.


This does not lessen the beauty and usefulness of the waters - just because it is getting by the easiest way possible.


There is no pride in Nature...
