"The real teacher in my life has always been nature. I’m not an intellectual sort of man. I’m not a thinking man at all. I’m not really interested in thinking my way to God – I never have been. I’m not the sort of man that reads books or goes to human teachers. I find the significant lessons are simply what's given to me day by day in my interaction with the living world. This is my teacher – life itself."
