'Abdu'l-Baha and the World of Nature

'Abdu'l-Baha was often inspired by the beauty of nature. His writings and talks are rich with descriptive imagery of the splendors of the natural world.

When writing of His visit to the Western states, He said the following:
During My journey and traveling in those parts, I beheld wonderful scenes and beautiful panoramas of nature, orchards and rivers; national parks and general conclaves; deserts, plains, meadows and prairies; and the grains and fruits of that region greatly attracted My attention; even to the present moment they are in My mind.
