Jim & Friend At Pass Dressed For Cold

Scientists have discovered
that the small brave act of cooperating with another person
makes the brain light up with quiet joy.

Jim Ambles Along Vast Flood Plain

Anyone who teaches
that solo experience is not the best teacher
is not the best teacher.

Solo experience
now and then teaches the hard way,
but the hard way is the unforgettable way.

…I need to come home to myself.
It’s not really how far I move
to find my own wisdom that matters,
but it’s crucially important
that I take myself along on the journey.

Freedom is indivisible;
the chains on any one of my people
were the chains on all of them,
the chains on all of them,
were the chains on me.

Wide Mountain Valley Flood Plain

It floats among us like a cloud
and is the realest thing we know
and the least to be captured,
the least to be possessed by anybody for themself.
It is like a grain of mustard seed,
which you cannot see
among the crumbs of earth where it lies.
It is like the reflection of the trees on the water.
~ Wendell Berry in Jayber Crow

Heaven walks among us ordinarily
muffled is such triple and tenfold disguises
that the wisest are deceived,
and no one perceives the days to be gods.

Ocean Shore Rocks

… he wrote that his daily stint of painting
brought everything into balance and harmony.
…Harlan thought that a painting, to be good,
must be done with dash and abandonment,
even one which has meticulous detail.
If one niggles over it, the result is dull and lifeless.
…I have so little skill and handle my tools and materials
in a fumbling way, yet in painting, even in playing the violin,
I sometimes strike deep, and the technique
 seems as honest and handmade.

The wild things of this earth are not ours to do with as we please.
They have been given to us in trust and we must account for them
to the generations which will come after us and audit our accounts.
