Silent Soul Stirrings
Deep early morning’s shadows draping the river valley, and mystical mountain mists silently stirred tranquility in my soul. A hen turkey suddenly peering in the kitchen window silently stirred a smile in my soul, and “The mountains are calling and I must go” yearning … so I went … up the trail to Castle Mt. 😊 Record July rains had flooded the valley just below tree line, denying me access to the little million-dollar view hut on the upper reaches. However, His creationscapes […] -

"Going into the woods, is going home."
- John Muir#Foxgloves are one of my favorite plants, a seasonal treat where I live. It's always nice to meet new fronds.

I couldn't sleep last night so ended up reading John Muir's A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf, which describes his trip on foot from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia when he was 29 years old. This was before he made his way to California.
Apart from the nature and impressive trail skills, I was fascinated that Muir made this trip in Sept-Oct of 1867—just a year and a half after the end of the Civil War! People in Appalachia at that time were very suspicious and many of them had little to spare to help a wandering botanist. There were roving bands of Confederates-turned-robbers. I was so nervous for him!

The inexhaustible pages of nature... written over and over uncountable times, written in characters of every size and color, sentences composed of sentences, every part of a character a sentence.

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.

A Short History Of The #WholeEarthCatalog
Dan
July 5, 2020"Who remembers the Whole Earth Catalog? Anyone?
"For some, the Whole Earth Catalog was the bible for all things green and #ecofriendly, #offgrid, #BackToNature, and #enviromentally conscious and #sustainable.
"If you think environmentalism is a new phenomenon you’d be wrong.
"The seeds of the movement were planted with the writings of #JohnMuir in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But perhaps, even more so by the publication in 1854 of #HenryDavidThoreau’s influential masterpiece #Walden.
"The modern environmental movement can arguably be traced back to the publication of #RachelCarson’s classic #SilentSpring in 1962.
"One of the major rallying points for the eco-movement was concern for the #pollution of the Great Lakes.
[...]
"As John Markoff, a technology writer for the New York Times, told the Guardian, the Whole Earth Catalog was 'the internet before the internet. It was the book of the future. It was a web in newsprint.'"

“Grasslands, Winter Morning” — A foggy winter morning in a region of grasslands and vernal pools in California’s Central Valley.
One of my favorite John Muir stories concerns how he first traveled to the Sierra. He Walked! From the Bay Area! From what I recall he went via Pacheco Pass (today’s state route 152) before entering the Great Central Valley. I often take this route when heading east, so I’m frequently reminded of his journey. Concerning his arrival in the Valley he wrote,” “At my feet lay the Great Central Valley of California, level and flowery, like a lake of pure sunshine, forty or fifty miles wide, five hundred miles long, one rich furred garden of yellow Compositae.”… continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2024/02/11/grasslands-winter-morning/

@intrepidhero love those maps! watched hikers on #JohnMuir Trail this month trying to navigate with tiny screen and tripping on rocks while reading phone. Silly. Plus they missed the magic! Trial mileage to Cathedral Lakes has actually changed a bit with a new route to protect meadows.
