River Meanders Through Alpine Fir Forest

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.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Liberty And Independence

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

Balanced Rock Looking Up Mountain Valley

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.

Freedom is a relative thing.
It's often determined more by
what you allow yourself to do
than what others allow.

Passion For Adventure

So many people live within unhappy circumstances

and yet will not take the initiative

to change their situation because they are conditioned

to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism,

all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,

but in reality nothing is more dangerous

to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.

The very basic core of a one's living spirit is their passion for adventure.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence

there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,

for each day to have a new and different Sun.

~ Christopher McCandless

The Perspective Spirit And Relations Of Great Art

Here are worlds of experience

beyond the world of aggressive man,

beyond history, beyond science.

The mood and qualities of nature and

the relations of great art

are difficult to define; we can grasp them

only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

~ Ansel Adams

Renewed Revelation Of Human Spirit Greatness

I realize again that one of the great functions of any art

is the constantly renewed revelation

of the possible greatness of the human spirit.

Forever Wild
           
1) There's a magic in the air, that I feel when I am there,
    It plays straight to my heart, and lays it all to bare,
    It's in the cry of the eagle and the deer so meek and mild,
    It's in the rise of the mountain, let it stay forever wild.

             Forever wild, forever wild,
             Let it stay, forever wild.

2) It's in all that is not tame, and some that can't be named,
    It's in the fog down in the valley, and the scent of summer 
                         rain,
    It's in the scream of a lion when she's soundin' like a child,
    It's in the song of the river, let it stay forever wild.

              Forever wild, forever wild,
              Let it stay, forever wild.

3) Now the Earth it holds the key to all that shall be free,
    It's in the peace of the desert and the wisdom of the trees,
    It's in the grace of a swans wing and the grizzly when she's
                              riled
    It's in all the love I bear it, let it stay forever wild.

             Forever wild, Forever wild,
             Let it stay, forever wild.

4)  There are those of my own kind, they're runnin' fast, but
                        goin' blind
    And the only thing they worship, is their God, the dollar sign,
    We must teach them with our spirit, with our might and with
                        our guile
            We must show them that the answer, it must be Forever Wild.

             Forever wild, forever wild
             Let it stay, forever wild.
