More From John Muir

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.
Practice Meditation Mind
An ancient buddha said, “mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” these words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.
Mean Water Mountain
The famous zen parable about the master for whom, before his studies, mountains were only mountains, but during his studies mountains were no longer mountains, and afterward mountains were again mountains could be interpreted as an alleory about [the perpetual paradox that when one is closest to a destination one is also the farthest).
Journey Hiking Mountain
The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as i do myself: the mountains exist simply, which i do not. the mountains have no "meaning," they are meaning; the mountains are. the sun is round. i ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when i can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. i understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when i read it all again, another day.
Heart Knowing Secret
The walls between old allies on either side of the atlantic cannot stand. the walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. the walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; christian and muslim and jew cannot stand. these now are the walls we must tear down. we know they have fallen before.
Inspiring Christian Country
No temple made with hands can compare with yosemite. every rock in its walls seems to glow with life. some lean back in majestic repose; others, absolutely sheer or nearly so for thousands of feet, advance beyond their companions in thoughtful attitudes, giving welcome to storms and calms alike, seemingly aware, yet heedless, of everything going on about them.

Happiness Moving On Attitude
I regard it as a duty which i owed, not just to my people, but also to my profession, to the practice of law, and to the justice for all mankind, to cry out against this discrimination which is essentially unjust and opposed to the whole basis of the attitude towards justice which is part of the tradition of legal training in this country. i believed that in taking up a stand against this injustice i was upholding the dignity of what should be an honorable profession.
