John Muir: God's Wildness


There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient 
mother-love showing itself whether recognized 
or no, and however covered by cares and duties...

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people 
are beginning to find out going to the mountains 
is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...
 
When we tug at a single thing in nature, 
we find it attached to the rest of the world.

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.

- John Muir
