“To nature and the quiet. Being in nature gets me the most in touch with God. I live in the city so there are always so many distractions! But when I get away from all the noise and the daily demands of life, when I get to those quiet places where I can see trees and earth and a sky full of stars, then I really know my place in the universe. It is very humbling to see the smallness of oneself against the backdrop of creation, but that’s good. It feels grounding to me to be even a tiny part of God’s magnificent creation. It fills me with gratitude.”
