freedom craved

until the heart is satisfied
the only freedom
is to choose ones' discipline
to fail to choose
is to have another discipline imposed

"Many of them are almost sociopaths
in an almost friendly way."


Dr. Michael Joyner MD

We see Nature working with
the enthusiasm of a man,
Blowing her volcanic forges
like a blacksmith blowing his smithy fires,
Shoving glaciers over the landscapes
like a carpenter shoving his planes,
Clearing, ploughing, harrowing, irrigating--
ever working toward beauty
higher and higher."

-John Muir, 1898
