I Only Went Out For A Walk
“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 John Muir, 1913, in L.M. Wolfe, ed.., John Muir, John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir, 1938
Nature is everything, and it always was everything. Every tree is our roof and every stone is our floor. That’s how God made it. When John Muir said, “I…finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” he was saying that he was entering his real home, nature. He felt like he was entering his first home and than he realized nature is our home, our first ever. Unfortunately, some of us don’t realize that nature is our home. They simply destroy it for things that they want. Little do they know, what they take as theirs, is nature’s and yet they destroy their own real home at the same time. Possibly if people read this quote they would finally realize….that nature is our home.
