I agree with you. I find profound peace and joy and a primal healing of the mind and spirit when communing with the things of nature. Hiking or horseback riding are among my favorite re-centering activities. I find that connecting with animals, spending time in the mountains or on a secluded beach, or observing the changing seasons and enjoying the night sky serve to bring me closer to God and strengthen my faith. I, too, am a Christian, and do not see nature as independent of or in conflict with faith. Rather, I find synergy in faith and nature. Each has deeper meaning for me because of the other.
