"If you make positive associations with nature early, then you can draw from that well, wherever you are.  You can summon that scene and calm yourself down.  And because you spent so much time there you can vividly evoke it, right down to the scent of the trees and the sound of the wind.

"It's not a bad thing to have at your disposal.  No matter how old you are."
