"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is
never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever
rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on
seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth
rolls. " - John Muir

"Come away awhile, past the concrete and the cars, out beyond the
boundaries of everyday life.Pause
to look - beyond the confines of time, into the face of eternity - and find
yourself- a part of the whole."
