The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
The mountains are calling and I must go. Nature is not a place to visit. It is home. In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. " The mountains are calling and I must go." " The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." " In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. Keep close to Nature's heart. The sun shines not on us but in us. I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. |
