“The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.”   —   John Muir

(The father/co-founder of the Sierra club!  And, the man who helped preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park.  He came about at just the right time, and he influenced a lot of people into valuing and respecting the natural world.  Without his influence, who knows where we would be?!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers.”   —   John Muir

(I hope John wasn’t trying to be a poet here!  John, himself, was quite the mountaineer.  I’m sure there are some cranks out there that would typify John simply as a “tree-hugger”.  But, I don’t think that would bother him a bit.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Another good nature quote!  John Muir was probably our greatest naturalist.  He and Teddy Roosevelt were our first conservationists.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”   —   John Muir

(Except the Global Warming deniers don’t “tug”.  They yank, rip out, cut down, burn down, bulldoze over, drill through, excavate, or completely blow up . . . whatever doesn’t move.  If it does move . . . they shoot it.  Be well and do good, friends.  And, don’t abuse nature.)   —   YUR
