"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.  Let them be your only diet, drink and botanical medicines.  Be blown on by all the winds.  Open your pores and bathe in all the tides of nature, in all her streams and oceans, at all seasons."

Henry David Thoreau
