While on vacation, I had intended to post a quote by John Muir, that I was having a hard time peeling from my brain on my quiet, mountainside mornings alone. As you can see, I never actually did it. I was reading a friend's blog this morning, and she had mentioned feeling comforted by the feeling that the minutae of her day actually connected her to something bigger than she thought possible.
It reminded me that I wanted to get this in here.
"When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything in the universe. "

About Me
- Amanda
- More often than not, I get the feeling Rod Serling is out there somewhere, narrating my life.. and David Lynch is directing it. While craziness ensues around me, I try to hole up and survive in my wee shelter. Surrounded by two cats, two dogs, a teen daughter, a rock and mineral collection only a geologist could appreciate, a record collection numbering in the thousands and enough yarn, wool and assorted fiber to make the hardiest penguin waddle away quickly in terror...
