nature

When I’m in nature everything falls into place. I’m just one tiny piece of a big jigsaw puzzle, and I like that. For me religion isn’t intellectual ; it’s more related to physics. It’s about things exploding and planets moving in synchronisation and where we are in all of that. When you consider that stuff, some book in the Bible seems ridiculous to me.

Religion isn’t about speaking and it’s not about people, it’s a cosmic thing about your place in nature and space. When people spend too long in cities they get neurotic and paranoid, but if you put them in the mountains for two weeks all those small worries drop down like dead flies.
