I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer.
John Muir

Going to the mountains is going home.

Image
Do behold the king in his glory, King Sequoia. Behold! Behold! seems all I can say.... Well may I fast, not from bread but from business, bookmaking, duty doing & other trifles.... I’m in the woods woods woods, & they are in mee-ee-ee.... I wish I were wilder & so bless Sequoia I will be.

Wander here a whole summer, if you can ... Thousands of wild blessings will search you and soak you as if you were a sponge, and the big days will go by uncounted
John Muir
Image
Wander a whole summer if you can. Time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.
John Muir
Image
Go quietly alone, no harm will befall you.
John Muir
Image
I've had a great time in South America and South Africa. Indeed it now seems that on this pair of wild hot continents I've enjoyed the most fruitful year of my life.

We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
Image
The water in music the oar forsakes. The air in music the wing forsakes. All things in move in music and write it. The mouse, lizard, and grasshopper sing together on the Turlock sands, sing with the morning stars.
John Muir
Image
It is a vast wilderness of rocks in a sea of light, colored and glowing like oak and maple in autumn, when the sun gold is richest
John Muir
Image
All wilderness seems to be full of tricks and plans to drive and draw us up into God's light.
John Muir
Image
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

Come to the woods, for here is rest.
