Nature


Nature speaks eloquently to those who listen; to others, she barely shows herself.

The quote above has been shared from the book "Eat Sleep Sit" by Kaoru Nonomura. In the book, the author describes his experience of living a year at Japan's most rigorous Zen temple Eiheiji. In some way, which I cannot seem to put a finger on now, the book profoundly touched my heart. In order to make an attempt at expressing this intense feeling, allow me to say that reading the book revealed a certain inescapable truth expressed in meek human nature.
