“I was disoriented by the idea that men should ever leave the forest.” ~Daniel J. Rice

“Sometimes, 

when we are far from clocks 

and schedules, 

we can still recapture a lost sense of place-based 

time.

 On a relaxing camping trip 

or a long day 

outdoors, 

perhaps, 

we can slip back 

into the rhythm 

of the 

sun.” 

 ~Richard J. Borden

“I have always loved the desert. 

One sits down on a desert sand dune, 

 sees nothing, 

hears nothing. 

Yet through the 

silence 

something throbs, 

 and gleams...” 

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

 This is how 

you hold onto your family. 

You hold them with open hands 

so they are free to find 

futures of their 

own. 

It's just that 

simple.”

“Some journeys lead 

nowhere, 

but they 

set 

the spirit 

free”
