    Have you ever been to Yosemite national park? There is very nice museum about John Muir and his works in the region.

    I’ve been all around the area but I’ve never made into Yosemite. I’d like to visit sometime, it’s beautiful.

I totally agree with you. Upon a mountain we are closer to stillness and freedom of spirit.

Absolutely! 🙂 Manmade is concocted baloney! That was the real reason they terminated John the Baptist’s life and the historical Christ’s life.

  Prophet John was kind to plants, animals, and others, so he might not be acceptable in today’s world either. Much of the past has been altered from man’s interpretations and translations in my opinion.

Love Muir – not only how beautifully he wrote but the many things he did to make the world a better place for those of us who love nature.

Makes sense to me. After all, God made the mountains.
