Walk away quietly in any direction
and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.
Camp out among the grasses
and
gentians of glacial meadows,
in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings.
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 off like autumn leaves.
As age comes on,
one source of enjoyment after another is closed,
but nature's
sources never fail.
~John Muir
