Summary

This quote, from Shakespeare's play "As You Like It," suggests that by getting away from the busyness of daily life and finding solitude in nature, we can discover profound sources of wisdom and inspiration. In the peacefulness of natural surroundings, trees, brooks, and stones seem to communicate and offer teachings akin to human speech, books, and sermons. This quote advocates for the importance of taking moments of quiet reflection amidst nature to see the inherent beauty and goodness in all things, reminding us of the richness and depth that can be found in our own surroundings.

God made the world for the delight of human beings-- if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we've waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us -- you just can't resist Him. I believe there's no such thing as luck in life, it's God's love, it's His.
