Thought for the day
May your trails be crooked,
winding, lonesome,
dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

May your rivers flow without end,
meandering through pastoral valleys
tinkling with bells,
past temples and castles and poets' towers
into a dark primeval forest....
down into a desert of red rock,
blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and
grottos of endless stone.

And down again
into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm
where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs,
where deer walk across the white sand beaches,
where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags,

until something strange and more beautiful
and more full of wonder
than your deepest dreams waits for you
just beyond the next turning of the canyon walls...

-Benedicto by Edward Abbey
