places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and cheer
and give strength to the body and soul.

When we try to pick out anything by itself,
we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
- John Muir

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

Keep close to Nature's heart...
and break clear away, once in awhile,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.
Wash your spirit clean.
- John Muir

I never saw a discontented tree.
They grip the ground as though they liked it,
and though fast rooted, they travel about as far as we do.

the people's cathedrals and churches,
for no holier temple has ever
been consecrated by the heart of man.

and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own.
Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.
- John Muir

To the lover of wilderness,
Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,
going and coming like ourselves,
traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day,
and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
- John Muir

A few minutes ago every tree was excited,
bowing to the roaring storm,
waving, swirling, tossing their branches
in glorious enthusiasm like worship.
But though to the outer ear these trees
are now silent, their songs never cease.
- John Muir

God has cared for these trees,
saved them from drought, disease, avalanches,
and a thousand tempests and floods.
But he cannot save them from fools.
- John Muir

The world is beyond the winning.

of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God -
the rest will be given.

As to marriage or celibacy, let a man
take which course he will,
he will be sure to repent.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,
you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

Let us be silent, that we may
hear the whispers of the gods.

we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence actually liberates others.
