On no subject are our ideas more warped and pitiable than on death...Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life, and that the grave has no victory, for it never fights. All is divine harmony.
This weeks Green Thoughts are taken from the writings of John Muir (1838 – 1914) a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States.
Todays’ is taken from Muir’s ‘A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf’, p:41-42
Every one of these green thoughts is a gem. I'd like to see more, though, on what we can do.
