The words from this paragraph from <em>The Calypso Borealis</em> that best show Muir's naturalist philosophy are the last ones:
<em>"Welcomed as friends"
</em>
In the whole passage, the author shows us how deeply connected the character was with nature. It is very clear when Muir says: <em>"With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread."
</em>
Winds, plants, storms the woods, everything was perceived by Muir as loving friends cohabiting the beautiful world.
