– Phil Heffington
What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins

quote of the day
"I will probably never get to go by this particular spot again for the rest of my life. I will, therefore, observe all I can, and commit all I can to memory, about this spot and this unique experience. I will cherish the discomfort, fatigue, depression and monotony as well as the views, elation, and opportunities I have for harmony with myself and the environment. Keeping on will teach me something that I cannot anticipate at the moment, but which will be worthwhile nonetheless, as I look back on it from the future."
