Wilderness Beauty-- One
Every moment that we spend loving is a sacred fruition of the universe's highest purpose. 
Faith is the realization that real security comes from a relationship with truth and a surrender to the primacy of love.
Before there was anything, there was love. Endless, infinite, perfect love.
When the mind is silent, and the heart peacefully joyous, we are the love we seek. Being it is truly better than trying to find it.
Love is the light that permeates all that is. It has no shadows, and can only be reflected by the heart.
A wilderness is an entity, a vast, spirited, living thing. If when we are in it, we are quiet and deeply aware of all that surrounds us, if we open our hearts to the whole of it, we can become part of this miraculous being.

Truth and true love are always uncharted territory.
Love is the highest form of light. Our minds can block it, but our hearts are born of its presence, and are always drawn to it.
Within every imperfection lies a perfect universe. Every identification is a caricature of truth.
The purpose of life is not achievement, it is living. Living in truth, beauty, and love, for these are the sacred things.
