And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, standing in admiration as a breathing red pours its tinge upon earth's shore. These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, long to thunder praise but stand reverent, silent so that man's weak praise should be given God's attention.
Many of us are returning from a long journey during which we were forced to search for things that were of no interest to us. Now we realize that they were false.

To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.
