“I go now to the wilderness to be a part of it; to accept my place in the world and its place in me; to grow into reality as a tree grows into the rain, to conform to the Earth as a stream conforms to the stones of its bed. To live. To aspire. To be.” WorldRealityEarthGrowsNatureAcceptingTreeBedRainStonesStreamsWildernessAspireConformPlaces In The World Book:The Wallowas: Coming of Age in the Wilderness Source: The Wallowas: Coming of Age in the Wilderness
