Lonely Fall Wonder

More From John Muir

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,as if orchards were dying high in space.each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."and tonight the heavy earth is fallingaway from all other stars in the loneliness.we're all falling. this hand here is falling.and look at the other one. it's in them all.and yet there is someone, whose handsinfinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

All my life i've been lonely. i've been lonely at crowded parties. i've been lonely in the middle of kissing a girl and i've been lonely at camp with hundreds of fellows around. but now i'm not lonely any more.

...he makes me feel out of control and out of my head. he is exhilarating and terrifying. i see and feel him everywhere, and i'm always grasping for equilibrium even when he's not there... i feel like i'm always falling in love, falling and falling and falling.
Falling In Love Grasping Equilibrium
Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
This fall i think you're riding for—it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. the man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. he just keeps falling and falling. the whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. so they gave up looking. they gave it up before they ever really even got started.

That night we push our cots just a little closer together, and look into each other's eyes in the moments before we fall asleep. when he finally drifts off, our fingers are twisted together in the space between the beds. i smile a little, and let myself go.

Mainly i've been back to my books and writings and being nice and quiet and lazy. as i'm writing this, the radio says there's a foot of snow falling on long island. i really love snow and wish i could take a long walk in it right now.
Nice Book Fall
Falling in love is the beginning of all wisdom, all sympathy, all compassion, all art, all religion; and in it's larger sense is the one thing in life worth doing.
Love Art Fall
I had enough trouble not falling down when the ground was dry; it might be safer for me to go back to bed now.
