Hi,

On to Chapter 17 .. "LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN / A SHINING WINDOW BELOW THE GREEN PINES" ...

The author does such a lovely job of capturing the power of nature on the heart. His image of a hiker amid the vastness of it all ... lovely. It is said that Zen Temples are traditionally built near mountains and flowing waters just because of this.

- How important is it for you to get out into nature from time to time?

In the very last paragraph of the chapter, the author hints at how we must learn to find these same lessons anywhere ... in the inner city. Is it possible? Is it important that we do so?
