Sometimes - when looking at all the beauty around me, I am moved to tears. My hero, Jane Goodall, wrote about this and tried to describe her feelings in a poem when she was 20 -- the poem was about the beauty around her and the feelings she had when gazing up at some geese flying over head - and her eyes met with one of the geese and she writes:
"and in my heart, the pain of joy
that such a thing could be."
~Jane Goodall

For hikers- "Mind over Mountain!"
For all- "We are spiritual beings having a human experience!"
My personal motto: "The world is my playground and life is a recess!"

I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.

Hope for the best but plan for the worst - not sure who said it but my Dad always told us that.
I copied this one and brought it with me on the AT. It's from Mark Twain.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Each day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days i've been alive!!!
