Earth Day

...to find the universal elements
enough; to find the air and the water
exhilarating; to be refreshed by a
morning walk or an evening saunter...to
be thrilled by the stars at night; to be
elated over a bird's nest or a wild flower
in spring - these are some of the rewards
of the simple life.

John Burroughs


AND...


I only went out for a walk, and finally
concluded to stay out till sundown, for
going out, I found, was really
going in.

John Muir
