“I think it’s beautiful
the way you sparkle
when you talk about
the things you love.”
Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

Nan Shepherd
“So simply to look on anything, such as a mountain, with the love that penetrates to its essence, is to widen the domain of being in the vastness of non-being. Man has no other reason for his existence.”
Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain

Nan Shepherd
“To aim for the highest point is not the only way to climb a mountain.”
Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain

“Watch carefully
the magic that occurs
when you give a person
enough comfort
to just be themselves.”
Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

John Muir
“I don't like either the word [hike] or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not 'hike!' Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Away back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, 'A la sainte terre', 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.”
John Muir
