NATURE'S EAGERNESS ~ 'THE MIGHTY FERN'

"I began to reflect on Nature's eagerness to sow life everywhere,

to fill the planet with it,

to crowd with it the earth, the air, and the seas.

Into every empty corner, into all forgotten things and nooks,

Nature struggles to pour life,

pouring life into the dead,

life into life itself.

That immense, overwhelming, relentless,

burning ardency of Nature for the stir of life!"

~ Henry Beston
