“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” – Edward Abbey
One of My Heroes
Edward Abbey’s above quote is possibly my favorite of all quotes. If you’re one of those like me, who seeks out Mother Nature at every opportunity, I’m sure you’ll understand.
Abbey, author of the “Monkey Wrench Gang,” “Desert Solitaire,” “Fire on the Mountain,” and others, also said:
“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
“The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other – instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.”
“Wilderness is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human spirit.”
“Society is like a stew. If you don’t stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.”

Wonderful quotes, Pat. These are so relevant to the conditions of these days that I need to ponder them a bit. While I’ve heard of Edward Abbey, I’ve never read anything of his. Maybe I will, now. *G*
The first quote is one of my favorites, too. 🙂
Beautiful – Have a Great One:)
Hey Sis, enjoyed this one very much.
Spent Christmas in bed with the flu. No fun, but on the mend now after Dr.visit and shot (love those shots, your picture kind anyway lol)
Love Robert
Thanks Robert. Hope you’re better by now. I’m way behind on e-mail. I’m still carrying stuff up three flights of stairs to my RV. Get well.
