“I perceived that I was on a little round grain of rock and metal, filmed with water and with air, whirling in sunlight and darkness. And on the skin of that little grain all the swarms of men, generation by generation, had lived in labour and blindness, with intermittent joy and intermittent lucidity of spirit. And all their history, with its folk-wanderings, its empires, its philosophies, its proud sciences, its social revolutions, its increasing hunger for community, was but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.” MenLittlesPhilosophyJoySpiritSocialStarsWaterCommunityDarknessGenerationsAirRocksRevolutionProudOne DaySkinsRoundsHungerFolksWanderEmpiresLabourMetalsGrainSunlightBlindnessLight And DarknessLight And DarkFlickerSwarmsLuciditySocial RevolutionOlafIntermittent Book:To the End of Time Source: To the End of Time
“Long distance hiking is not a vacation, it's too long for that. It's not recreation, too much toil and pain involved. It is, we decide, a way of life, a very simplified Spartan way of living ... life on the move ... heavy packs, sweating brow; they make you appreciate warm sunshine, companionship, cool water. The best way to appreciate these things that are precious and important in life it is take them away.” WayLongImportantPainMovingWaterWalksToo MuchJourneyInvolvedWalkingAppreciateDistanceHeavyWarmBest WayWanderLive LifeSunshineVacationHikingPacksCompanionshipToilTrekkingBrowsRecreationStrollingLong DistanceSaunteringSweatingCool Water Author:Cindy Ross
