“...full of God's thoughts, a place of peace and safety amid the
most exalted grandeur and enthusiastic action, a new song, a place of
beginnings abounding in first lessons of life, mountain building, eternal,
invincible, unbreakable order; with sermons in stone, storms, trees, flowers,
and animals brimful with humanity.”

“Climb the mountains and get their
good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
― John
Muir, The
Mountains of California
