Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

I managed to only walk outside for 20 or 30 minutes because of the cold weather and my allergies.Later this week I will try to walk outside for at least 1 hour.
