The more we observe of the book of nature, the more we can learn of ourselves.

Summer and Winter

St. Augustine, among other Christian thinkers, is cited to have said that scripture and nature are two volumes in the sacred texts of revelation. Certainly, there are natural world occasions which “speak to” inner world knowing. There are times when a page from the book of nature serves as a symbol, and the visible world reflects something true of the invisible world.
