#Foxgloves are one of my favorite plants, a seasonal treat where I live. It's always nice to meet new fronds.

Tyson, Chicken Rancher πI couldn't sleep last night so ended up reading John Muir's A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf, which describes his trip on foot from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia when he was 29 years old. This was before he made his way to California.
Apart from the nature and impressive trail skills, I was fascinated that Muir made this trip in Sept-Oct of 1867βjust a year and a half after the end of the Civil War! People in Appalachia at that time were very suspicious and many of them had little to spare to help a wandering botanist. There were roving bands of Confederates-turned-robbers. I was so nervous for him!
Wisdom in SpaceThe inexhaustible pages of nature... written over and over uncountable times, written in characters of every size and color, sentences composed of sentences, every part of a character a sentence.

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world -- the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.

Wittgenstein's MonsterA brother once opined:
βThe mountains are calling, and I must go.β
But for me,
it is the people I most hoe.
They are thirsty.
And need some drink.
And I β
half-full or half-empty,
depending on the day β
still poor, I think.
