Blissful Boyhood
"As a boy I had frequent mystical experiences of nature while roaming through the fields and forests. A field of flowers, a sun-brightened spot in a forest, some place in my surroundings would suddenly appear in strange clarity. It was as though the trees, the flowers now wanted to disclose their true essence to me, and I felt connected to them in an indescribable feeling of bliss.

“These experiences impressed themselves on me deeply even though they were usually only of very short duration. It was they who not only kindled my love of the world of plants, they defined my whole view of life in its basic outlines by disclosing to me the existence of an all-encompassing, securing, deeply gratifying reality hidden from everyday life." — Albert Hofmann; Insight Outlook, p. 42
