My family wasn't very religious when I was young. I went to Sunday school a few times, because it was more like free daycare than an education in religion. In my teens I came to the conclusion that I never feel closer to god than I do in the outdoors. I could never really explain it and then I started reading books written by John Muir. His words really spoke to me and I think he explained in his words what I never could.

"Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. "

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world."

The last quote is great because it can be related to so many things. I like to relate it to fishing.
