NATURE, FRESHNESS, AND JOY

C. S. Lewis once said, “Say your prayers in a garden early, ignoring steadfastly the dew, the birds and the flowers, and you will come away overwhelmed by its freshness and joy; go there in order to be overwhelmed and, after a certain age, nine times out of ten nothing will happen to you.”

(The Four Loves, chap. 2, para. 28, p. 39)
