John Muir

Heaven and Earth

November 16, 2016 by bofaw Leave a Comment

“I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did in contact with the new-made fields and plants of Eden; but I so no more, because I have discovered that I also live in ‘creation’s dawn.’ The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful … [Read more…]

John Muir’s High Altar

October 3, 2016 by bofaw 1 Comment

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Many of the older Scots claim that they can communicate spiritually with deceased family members and friends by a process they call “kything.” If this is so, I am guessing that John Muir … [Read more…]

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Maya Angelou Never before in human history has there been such a wealth of knowledge that has allowed man to contemplate the great panoply of mysteries and miracles including: The origin of God—The Universe—Life … [Read more…]

“I CONQUERED YOSEMITE’S HALF DOME!”

July 11, 2016 by bofaw Leave a Comment

“Loren Eiseley is less concerned about man conquering nature than nature, in the form of God, conquering the human heart.” Time Magazine. AFTER nearly 75 years, I have concluded that life is mostly (if not totally) a journey into mystery. E.g. how could I have possibly guessed that a simple, innocent question from a student … [Read more…]

Summer Solstice—Strawberry Moon—John Muir—Psalms of the Earth

June 20, 2016 by bofaw 4 Comments

Although today is the Summer Solstice (the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere) we have already lost 2 minutes of daylight in the morning and in about two weeks the Earth will begin its tilting process that will lead to the autumnal equinox in September.

John Muir: “Get in The Bucket and Hold On!”

March 6, 2016 by bofaw Leave a Comment

The walls of the world’s hall of shame are covered with millions of portraits of mostly men who have committed heinous crimes against individuals and humanity, sometimes their own children. Most of these men had the misfortune of being raised by one or more abusive parents. John Muir had all the qualifications to end up … [Read more…]

Epiphany—epiphanies—John Muir

January 5, 2016 by bofaw 2 Comments

There are many historical references (other than The Holy Bible) that an extraordinary cosmic event happened in the year 02 in Bethlehem. Whether it was an unusual convergence of planets, or some other mysterious cosmic event, it became the greatest epiphany the Earth has ever known. Based on archaeological relics, anthropologists suggest that man’s spiritual … [Read more…]

John Muir—Giant Sequoia—Urban Urchins

November 10, 2015 by bofaw Leave a Comment

Excerpt: Biodesign Out For A Walk: “NO WONDERLAND WOULD be complete without pygmies and giants, and Mendocino did not disappoint. It may be the only place on our planet that features pygmies and giants in both plant and animal kingdoms.

Muir Ramble Route: By Peter and Donna Thomas

October 14, 2015 by bofaw Leave a Comment

When John Muir wrote: “The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains…” he was too humble to imagine that he would become a great poet, philosopher and prophet whose thoughts and deeds moved the world. He was, however, keenly aware of the … [Read more…]
