July and August... somewhere here

Clearing the books in my collection...
some good some not so good...
hardbacks with print on paper pages.

clouds above the Sevier Plateau      2019

this process always brings out things you forgot you had or where they were at...
thus is the case with an old friend i read years ago...
Edward Abbey, the old desert rat that he was....


" Wealth should come like manna from heaven, unearned and uncalled for. Money should be like grace--- a gift. It is not worth sweating and scheming for."

"High technology has done one great service: It has taught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks--- chopping wood, building a fire, drinking water from a spring..."

" The world exists for its own sake, not for ours. Swallow that pill!"

i might add that it is most of all our proving ground to live on/in and not too destroy.

" Though men now possess the power to dominate and exploit every corner of the natural world, nothing in fact implies that they have the right or the need todo so."

" Music begins where words leave off.
Music expresses the inexpressible.
if there is a Kingdom of Heaven, it lies in music."

There is nothing better then the cooling sound and feel of sprinklers on a sunny hot summer morning.

Some places in our town, and on earth, someone has decided we do not need to go... Rocky Mt Power Solar array field is one of those places in our small town...

the view from outside the fence...

" Death is every man's final critic. To die well you must live bravely."

" Life is too short for grief. Or regret. Or bullshit."

"Life imitates art---- but badly."

"Power is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best."

" Our 'neoconservatives' are neither new nor conservative, but as old as Babylon and evil as hell."

"Society is like a stew. If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of scum top."

" Mormonism: Nothing so hilarious could possibly be true. Or all that bad."

So much for the found book of my friend Edward Abbey...

See you in block 16... 

Cheers to your day...

back to sorting and making books.
