January Sunset Over Sugarcreek 1 by Jim Crotty on Flickr.“A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of the earth, for the labours of men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar unmistakable difference among the future widening of knowledge: a spot where the definiteness of early memories may be inwrought with affection, and kindly acquaintance with all neighbors, even to the dogs and donkeys, may spread not by sentimental effort and reflection, but as a sweet habit of the blood.” - George Eliot

“Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving toward the summit of fulfillment.”  ― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Because it’s worth it. Returning to nature, again and again. This is something I’ve done all my life. The woods. The mountains. The ocean. The canyons. In those moments and places I always find the sacredness that is the bond between the inherent goodness of the human heart and the promise of beauty. In disconnecting I have found my way to connect. When lost in the light of autumn dusk a path always emerges. Back again and through all the false noise that is fear and doubt something is always there that brings me back home. The soul yearns and the spirit endures. In brief glances I see that there is so much more.
