Joseph received his revelation in a wooded grove. Moses received the tablets on a mountain peak. Muhammad in a mountain cave. Buddha under a bodhi tree. The origin stories of many religious traditions involve an encounter with divine truth in the natural world. It is for this reason that a number of saints, hermits, and ascetics take to deserts, mountains, and woods in search of contact with the great mystery.
