I'd like to know that you can see the Beauty every day
and guide your life by its Presence. I'd like to know
that you can see the Beauty,
even when it's not pretty every day…

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.

Educators have not only an opportunity
but an obligation to open the ‘doors of perception’ for all students.
The enduring purpose of education
is to provide students with a perception
of the outer reaches of their talents and possibilities
and, ideally, to give them a reason to continue to learn
and contribute to their society for all of their lives.
~ Bernice Bleedorn

When one is a stranger to oneself,
then one is estranged from others…
Only when one is connected to one’s core
is one truly connected to others.

Was something brushed across my mind
That no one on earth will ever find?
Heaven gives its glimpses only to those
Not in positions to look too close.

Jim Fords River Pushing Floating Pack

What constitutes the bulwark
of our own liberty and independence?

It is not our crowning battlements,
our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.
These are not our reliance against tyranny.
All of these may be turned against us
without making us weaker for the struggle.

Our reliance is in the spirit which prized liberty
as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere.

Destroy this spirit
and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors.
Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage
and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.

Accustom to trample on the rights of others
and you have lost the genius of your own independence
and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant
who rises among you.
~ Abraham Lincoln

Surely the protection of these natural treasures is
fundamental to 'homeland security'.

Wilderness has been characterized as barren and unproductive:
little can be grown in its sand and rock.
But the crops of wilderness have always been its spiritual values,
silence and solitude, a sense of awe and gratitude,
able to be harvested by any traveler who visits.
~David Douglas
