"Take a course of good water and air, and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you." - John Muir -- Essential quotes from John Muir now in an easily accessible book Contains a treasure trove of profound insights and reflections A great choice for a thoughtful gift -- "Most people are on the world, not in it - have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them - undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate." - John Muir -- "As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can." - John Muir

John Muir's Little Book of Essential Quotations is essential for any tree hugging, forest loving, bookish reader out there! I was reading another book and the author referenced John Muir and several of his quotes. Don't you just love it when one book leads you to other books you must read?!? (The book I was reading is called Wild Walking). I devoured the wise words in this little gem of a book and will now be going back to (cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy savor each one, especially my favorites (there are many), over and over again. This is required reading and a must have for the library of all the tree hugging, forest bathing, forest lovers like me 🥰 P.S. I will never again say that I hike. I will forevermore refer to it as sauntering. Read it and see why 😉 7mo
