Thoughts on nature

A friend sent this to me this week.  It reminds us that education can come in many forms, and that nature is an important teacher.  

It were as well to be educated in the shadow 

of a mountain as in more classic shade.

Some will remember, no doubt,

not only that they went to college

but that they went to the mountain. 
Henry David Thoreau
