"How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!"

- Emily Dickinson

About this Quote

This quote by Emily Dickinson is a reflection on the paradox of nature. Nature is ever-present, yet it does not invade our lives. It is always there, however it does not knock on our door or require our attention. Nature is a powerful force, yet it does not force itself upon us. We can choose to disregard it, however it will still exist. This quote is a suggestion that nature is a part of our lives, and that we need to make the effort to value it. Nature provides beauty, peace, and solace, and it depends on us to put in the time to appreciate it. Nature does not intrude, but it is constantly there, waiting for us to take notification.
