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.
~ David James Duncan in My Story As Told By Water

Calm Water With Perfect Mountain Cloud Reflection

This life, therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness;
not health, but healing; not being, but becoming;
not rest, but exercise.

We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it.
The process is not yet finished, but
it is going on.

This is not the end, but it is the road.
All does not yet gleam in glory, but
all is being purified.
~ Martin Luther

Heaven

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

Slow Waterfall

Wilderness is the raw material out of which humans
have hammered the artifact called civilization;
the rich diversity of the world's cultures reflects
a corresponding diversity on the wilds that gave them birth.

Ridge Reflection

A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild,
the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and
betraying the principle of civilization itself.
