Beauty is composed of many things and never stands alone. It is part of horizons, blue in the distance, great primeval silences, knowledge of all things of the earth… It is so fragile it can be destroyed by a sound or thought. It may be infinitesimally small or encompass the universe itself. It comes in a swift conception wherever nature has not been disturbed.
— Sigurd F. Olson (Naturalist author of The Singing Wilderness)

A beautiful photo of the Grand Canyon. Have you ever read “The Man Who Walked Through Time?” That’s the book that hooked me on the outdoors many, many years ago.
Thanks for sharing.

No I have not read that book. John Muir’s writings have always inspired me. I will check that book out. Can you tell me who wrote it? Thank you for sharing and God Bless You.

It was written by Colin Fletcher. It is a more down-to-earth book than Muir’s writings – a detailed account of a solo backpacking journey from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other.
