Journal Entry #51

April 27, 2023

Thank you, thank you! I received a bunch of emails and comments asking me to post a “part 2.” I am very moved by the enthusiasm, friends. So here are more pictures from Canyonlands (and a couple from Capitol Reef and Arches too.

I am reading a book right now which speaks to what I feel about being in these wild and beautiful places. It’s called Nature Love Medicine - Essay on Wildness and Wellness. One of the essay writers quotes Wallace Stegner. I want to share his words:

“We simply need [that] wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.”
