For some time I come "mulling over" the relationship between nature and spirituality. The first topic would be the creation, biblical approach that shows a God who tells us that the world is good. Another area would be the Psalms, those who talk about nature and how God related to humanos.Sin beings, however, I'd like to stress the need to approach nature otherwise.
For some, nature has been a place to escape city life. Thus, nature becomes a place of silence and find himself. In this case, the human being becomes highly sensitive in the world around him.
But for others, nature becomes a space that serves as a way to get to a point, a expected. This possibility involves walking distances and go through a goal. This second option assumes the physical effort as a way of prayer, a way of approaching God. The body praises to God.
I venture to think that every pilgrim, perhaps unconsciously, assumes that effort and the harsh climate forged the will of it assumes a response to the call received.
