Go Out


Day 261: Sunrise. Without a doubt, it is my favorite time of the day regardless of the season. It is rare that I am not up to observe it, whether it marches into the sky with fanfare or seeps into the grey sea in the manner of a stream piercing the ocean's vastness. The rising of the light, however faint, brings with it a restoration of spirit and a sense of connectedness with the things of Nature.

The pasture has gone wild with July fever now, its grasses burdened o'mornings with unseasonally heavy dew; yet they stretch their arms above the tall daisies, seeking ultimate dominion of the land.

"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." ~~John Muir
