The 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.

John Muir (1838–1914) is celebrated as a pioneer of American conservation. A Scottish-born naturalist, he founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and was instrumental in creating national parks like Yosemite and Sequoia. His writing and walking expeditions greatly inspired the modern environmental movement

A brother once opined:
β€œThe mountains are calling, and I must go.”

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.
