Hallo Bay Rock + Quote

Beauty is composed of many things

and never stands alone.

It is part of horizons,

blue in the distance,

great primeval silences,

knowledge of all things of the earth.

 It is so fragile

it can be destroyed by a sound or thought.

It may be infinitesimally small

or encompass the universe itself.

It comes in a swift conception

wherever nature has not been disturbed.

Sigurd F. Olson

"If You Know Wilderness..."

"If you know wilderness

in the way that you know l♥ve,

you would be unwilling to let it go...

This is the story of our past

and it will be the story of our future."

Terry Tempest Williams
