 I believe in God, only I spell it "Nature."
 
 – Frank Lloyd Wright
 
 
Read the article "Nature is a jazz band, not a machine" at iai news.
 
 
Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt
"Nature Boy" from From Paris with Love


 
Nature Boy
 
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
