From desert canyons to arctic ice — chasing light to the ends of the earth.

Rise free from care before the dawn and seek adventure.
Let the noon find you by other lakes, and the night overtake thee everywhere at home.
There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played.
— Henry David Thoreau
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot
The wildest, leafiest, and least trodden way I could find.
John Muir
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry, The Peace of Wild Things
I made my bed in a nook of the pine thicket…snug as squirrel nests, well ventilated, full of spicy odors, and with plenty of wind-played needles to sing one asleep.
John Muir
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? — it is the same the angels breathe.
Mark Twain
Thou shall be as free as mountain winds.
Shakespeare, Prospero, "The Tempest"
Trees are poems that the Earth writes upon the sky.
Kahlil Gibran
