More From John Muir

Hiking - i don't like either the word 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."

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. when we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. after practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. now the mountains are very free. our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.

An ancient buddha said, “mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” these words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.

There are people who are known for some contribution to pop culture, but that doesn't mean that you've survived solely on your relevance to whatever is currently popular. that's what a pop star is, in that sense. you might start out as a pop star, but that's just an opportunity to become more relevant, if you possibly can.

Imagine that human existence is defined by an ache: the ache of our not being, each of us, the center of the universe; of our desires forever outnumbering our means of satisfying them.
