Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry

A proper education enables young people to put their lives in order, which means knowing what things are more important than other things it means putting first things first.

Always in the big woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place there will be, along with the feelings of curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is the ancient fear of the Unknown, and it is your first bond with the wilderness you are going into.

When the self is ones exclusive subject and limit, reference and measure, one has no choice but to make a world of words.
