More From John Muir

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.
Circles Community Together
Any fool can destroy trees. they cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed,-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones. few that fell trees plant them; nor would planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble primeval forests. during a man's life only saplings can be grown, in the place of the old trees-tens of centuries old-that have been destroyed.

I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. i mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at? opposing expansion of redwood national park.
Mean Thinking Common Sense
The morning woods were utterly new. a strong yellow light pooled beneath the trees; my shadow appeared and vanished on the path, since a third of the trees i walked under were still bare, a third spread a luminous haze wherever they grew, and another third blocked the sun with new, whole leaves. the snakes were out - i saw a bright, smashed one on the path - and the butterflies were vaulting and furling about; the phlox was at its peak, and even the evergreens looked greener, newly created and washed.

One of the great drivers of the alienation that has made donald trump possible is that the growth in the american economy has been weak. in the decade from 2005 to 2015, there was not one year when the us hit three per cent growth. and to the extent there's been growth, virtually all of it has been collected by the top 10 per cent of the population. obviously, if we knew how to make growth faster, we would. we don't. and it's very difficult to make growth more broadly shared. because it's not just the us that has this problem.

Years later he'd stood in the charred ruins of a library where blackened books lay in pools of water. shelves tipped over. some rage at the lies arranged in their thousands row on row. he picked up one of the books and thumbed through the heavy bloated pages. he'd not have thought the value of the smallest thing predicated on a world to come. it surprised him. that the space which these things occupied was itself an expectation.

If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. all that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. its title should be simple -- a few plain words -- my heart laid bare. but -- this little book must be true to its title.
Honesty Lying Book
"duty, honor, country" - those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. they are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

The beauty of ideas is that they are like waves in the ocean and they connect with things that came before them, and i think it is very important to embrace things that interest you and influence you, and incorporate them into what you do, as all artists have always done. the ones that say they don’t, are lying. or are afraid that their work won’t be seen as being original, somehow.

We got latched together and i was hoping you could separate us? (amanda) they were made by your stepfather. any chance you have a key lying around? (kyrian) i guess i shouldn't be surprised. at least this time she's not an amazon princess with an irate mother demanding parts of your body be removed. two thousand years later, and you're still getting into unbelievable messes.
