This past Sunday, Jacob and I walked downtown and went to the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. We wandered around and viewed the exhibits. Upstairs they had a exhibit, John Muir & the Personal Experience with Nature.
Two things stood out there. A couple of quotes from John Muir and the illustrations of wildflowers. As for the wildflowers, I saw an illustration of one that I have been searching for a name. The name was faded and not totally readable. However, it was enough to give us a clue so that when we left the museum, we walked across the street to the library and looked further. The mystery was solved.
Tonight I want on a hike up Two Trees Trial like I have so many other times. This time, I had a quote from John Muir on my mind. “I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” I always enjoy going in to the outdoors. Sometimes I wish it would last longer. However, the time comes to go out of the outdoors and end up inside. Only to hope to out of the house in to nature and the outdoors.
