John Muir lived in and loved the
California wild. As a scientist he studied it and devoted himself to what he
called its mystical nature. During the course of his communion with the
glaciers and peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains, he came close to seeing them
as living beings. He moved in the waters and streams following the currents.
The personality of the California Coast changes from south to north. It can nurture with a calm and warmth one minute and emote wild with wind the next.
Its roar and spindrift reach to the
edges of expression.
How would you identify the currents
and tides that have flowed for years through your own life? Think of the
estuaries that gathered and nurtured growth. Acknowledge the rage of storms and
their effects.
What changed because of erosion?
What remained as a fierce stream?
Does a mystical nature appear?
