Enter Within

The clearest way
into
the Universe
is
through a
forest wilderness.

John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir
(1938) | page 313

Pretty Chaotic

When we contemplate the whole globe as

one great dewdrop, striped and 

dotted with continents and islands, flying 

through space with other stars 

all singing and shining together as one, the 

whole universe appears as 

an infinite storm of beauty.

-- John Muir
Travels in Alaska
1915 | chapter 1 | page 5

Nature's Peace

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you 

as sunshine flows into trees. 

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, 

and the storms their energy, while 

cares will drop off like 

autumn leaves.

-- John Muir, Our National Parks, 1901, page 56
