“Wilderness is not only a haven for native plants and animals but it is also a refuge from society. Its a place to go to hear the wind and little else, see the stars and the galaxies, smell the pine trees, feel the cold water, touch the sky and the ground at the same time, listen to coyotes, eat the fresh snow, walk across the desert sands, and realize why its good to go outside of the city and the suburbs. Fortunately, there is wilderness just outside the limits of the cities and the suburbs in most of the United States, especially in the West.” FeelsLittlesStatesStarsWaterRealizingWalksAnimalUnitedCitiesUnited StatesTreeSkyHavensWindColdLimitsPlantWestSmellSnowDesertSandNativeWildernessRefugeGalaxySuburbsPlaces To GoPlants And AnimalsCold WaterCoyotesPine TreesDesert SandFresh Snow Author:John Muir
“A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, 'I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, violent one, the other wolf is the loving compassionate one.' The grandson asked him, 'Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?' The grandfather answered, 'The one I feed.'” IfsFeelsHeartSaidTwoSuccessFightingWinningFeltTalkingMy HeartWords Of WisdomViolentNativeCompassionateGrandfatherNative AmericanGrandsonVengefulTwo Wolves Author:Black Hawk
