Nature offers us so many lessons and examples of the power of persistence. The sun rises every morning and sets every evening, and as it does it’s work plants and grasses, trees and flowers grow and are nurtured by its warmth and radiance. Animals tirelessly gather food for the winter Rivers cut through rock, boulders and mountainsides over eons forming deep and beautiful canyons How can water carve out a rock?

Men like Plato, Socrates, Galileo, da Vinci, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman and John Muir all found their inspiration and genius in the insights found in the wild and natural world. More recently Teddy Roosevelt, Einstein, and even John Denver … This wasn’t by accident. They were aware and purposeful in learning from their natural environment. You and I can do the same today.
