The
clearest way into the universe is through a forest
wilderness.

If
winds are the spirit of the sky's ocean, the clouds
are the texture. Their is easily the most
uninhibited dominion of the earth. Nothing in
physical shape is too fantastic for them. They can
be round as apples or as fine as string, as dense as
a jungle, as wispy as a whiff of down, as mild as
puddle water or as potent as the belch of a volcano.
Some are thunderous anvils formed by violent up
drafts from the warm earth. Some are ragged
coattails of storms that have passed. Some are
stagnant blankets of warm air resting on cold. I
have seen clouds in the dawn that looked like a pink
Sultan with his pale harem maidens and a yellow slob
of eunuch lolling impotent in the background.
-- Guy Murchie
Let us
beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are
only necessities: there is no one to command, no one
to obey, no one to transgress. When you realize
there are no goals or objectives, then you realize,
too, that there is no chance: for only in a world of
objectives does the word ''chance'' have any
meaning.
-- Friedrich
Nietzsche
1844-1900, German
Philosopher
The
way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put
up with the rain.
