“Dear everyone,

I am going to start being nice to everyone, even those stinken newbie, car campers, ick!

I think people take my words to seriously but it is still my fault for not realizing that and changing my words.

So, I am sorry to everyone I have offended, and I am going to try and be nice from now on.

Sincerely,

Tarp Lloyd Rat

“"If we do not go to church so much as did our fathers, we go to the woods much more, and are much more inclined to make a temple of them than our fathers were. We now use the word "Nature" very much as our fathers used the word "God" , and I suppose, back of it all we mean the power that is everywhere present and active, and in whose lap the visible universe is held and nourished. It is a power that we can see and touch and hear, and we realize every moment of our lives how absolutely we are dependent upon it. There are no atheists or skeptics in regard to this power. All men see how literally we are its children and all men learn how swift and sure is the penalty of disobedience to its commands. Our associations with Nature vulgarize it and rob it of its divinity. When we come to see that the celestial and the terrestrial are one, that time and eternity are one, that there is nothing not inherent in Nature, then we no longer look for or expect a far-off, unknown God.
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of stone than a moral.
JOHN BURROUGHS, "Time and Change"

Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.”

-Hawk”

“"When the world gets to be too much
I look up to the sky
And watch the hawk soar high above,
and wish that I could fly.
Lord give me wings so I can kiss this world goodbye;
Let me taste the freedom that can only be found that high."

-Hawk”

“"When the world gets to be too much
I disappear into the woods,
Where I am better known and easily understood.
To walk upon Mother Earth and beneath Father Sky;
To kindle my spirit and watch the flames grow to the sky."

-Hawk”

“"When the world gets to be too much
I climb a mountain high.
And I reach my hands high above my head to touch the big, blue sky.
I feel the wind blow my troubles far away,
While it whispers in my ear that tomorrow's a brand new day."

-Hawk”

“"When the world gets to be too much
I close my eyes
And I think of the one I love and pretend she's by my side.
All her beauty, all her heart, she's all I need.
She gives my spirit wings and her love sets me free."

-Hawk”

“I know the pain that each step can bring
in the big picture it doesn`t mean a thing
it`s one thing to have it and another to share
I was with Nature today, I wish you`d been there
no words to describe it, there`s not much to say
by chance did I see it, as I hope you will some day
and very little was spent, for all that I did gain
a moment that will last a lifetime I forgot my pain
like prayers written on the wind, not in stone, more like chalk
once I ran through my life, now I`m just happy I can walk”

“Replaced the plugs the late day of yester
till dark clouds moved in to fester
Postponed the tune-up til this morn
to replace the other parts that have worn
The cap and rotor have waited all night
I just hope I get the wires on right!”

“We live only once, if that is the case
with our children go our hopes to make the world a better place
but, with life comes the different glue of thick and thin
we only have our lifetime, but we hope to live on in them
alone we can`t change the world, not any one person can
children hold our hopes that now ride on a much better man
with their smiles the light of hope shines on their face
enough like minds could make the world a much better place”

“Not a quote at all, but kind of like
I`m happy being me, I don`t want to be like Mike
you can quote me on this, it`ll be okay
I learned more from my mistakes than any other way”

“"A "civilized" life is often hectic, disorienting, and potentially harmful in both physical and mental ways. Retreating to the woods reminds me of the simple facts of trail life, such as the need to fill water bottles, the importnace of a good , dry tent site, and that peacful woodlands make you see yourself for what you are."

Stephen K. Klotz”

“Ignorance is not so much the lack of learning as it is the failure to learn what we lack.”

“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.

René Daumal”
