I’m back in the city after the most fantastic autumn weekend retreat on the West Coast. I went with my all-time favourite companion Maria Ernst. We got up before the sun, drove into the wild and drank morning coffee while watching the sunrise. It made me think of this quote:

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks – John Muir

Muir was a famous American conservationist and naturalist (1838-1914). This christmas i will put two of his books on my wish list, and dream about a roadtrip in the raw American nature: Wilderness Essays and The Wild Muir: Twenty-Two of John Muir’s Greatest Adventures
