There are answers in the sunset, rivers, fields, and everything else on Earth. Emerson was fascinated with Nature. He was ever conscious of the beauty, simplicity and grace of those things which the Creator had bestowed upon the creatures of this Planet Earth. Emerson expanded on the beauty of nature and the need for every person to protect the environment. Emerson perceived the connection between Nature and the individual human soul.
Nature is something to be viewed in a religious light.
It enters one's mind and enlightens it and is always there for the next philosopher who seeks knowledge. Trust your own thoughts and convictions because being different is good, being different is what makes it possible to be great. Not only did Emerson recognize the spiritual benefit of communing with Nature but that Nature was an integral part of our culture and society. Each person's intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of their daily food. Emerson's philosophy of Nature can be further demonstrated by the religious beliefs of the Native Americans, as they incorporate reverence to Nature in their religious worship.
