Our Favorite Cards and Prints for People Who Love the Outdoors
I’ve been reading The Nature Fix by Florence Williams and it made me think about how many of our cards and prints are variations on the same theme: spending time in nature connects us with each other and with the most peaceful, centered parts of ourselves. My best work has always come after time spent walking, hiking and if I’m lucky, camping and backpacking.
Here is a bit of poetry and some of our most popular cards and prints for people who love the outdoors. You can find the whole collection here.
“Therefore I am still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear,—both what they half create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognize
In nature and the language of the sense
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being."
William Wordsworth
“There is nothing you can see that is not a flower.” Matsuo Basho
“That quality of air, that emanation from old trees that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.” Robert Louis Stevenson
“It’s evolutionarily adaptive to reach out and connect when confronted with vast forces we don’t totally understand.” Florence Williams
“The woods, the trees and the rocks give man the resonance he needs.” Ludwig van Beethoven
