"Allow nature to teach you stillness. We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be here and now." - Eckhart Tolle
The camera can be a wonderful tool to make us slow down, or as Tolle says, "to be here and now" and connect with nature.
