My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn.

I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am.

I will grow and I am not deficient.
Wayne Dyer

The big, blazing truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles. As Augustine said: Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.
Peter Kreeft
