‘the winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of autumn.’

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I live near the sea, and the cool ocean winds are invigorating……

I was so fortunate to have spent many amazing days hiking and camping in the high Sierra wilderness Muir loved. If you haven’t already, get a copy of his book, Gentle Wilderness. You will treasure it forever.
