The Last Wilderness

Contributor Hendon Harris, Ken Campbell (lastwilderness.net); Ed., Wisdom Quarterly




INSPIRATION
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
- Ernest Hemingway

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
- Henry David Thoreau

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
- Rachel Carson

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
- Jack Kerouac

Earth 2.0
It's a horseman on a big horse chasing a pony running ahead of them, right?

Earth Day birthday (Hallmark)
There are no Hallmark cards for Earth Day. At least, I don’t think there are. (It sounded authoritative, so I went with it). Even so, today would be a good day to sit back and reflect a bit, maybe take stock of the health of our planet, if we had the time. We could learn from what we’ve been able to accomplish and learn to be not afraid of what still seems impossible, or at least unlikely, given the epileptic political and economic systems we’ve given ourselves. It isn’t likely that many people consider these topics on Earth Day – or any other day, for that matter – but it might not be a bad idea. More

If our backyards are our only wild lands, oh boy.
The Last Wilderness (lastwilderness.net) is an online repository of resources and narratives relating to wilderness, adventure, and the environment. It’s personal to Ken Campbell, in that it is used as a forward staging point for new ideas and observations to take written form.

It is also public, a place where thoughts and people can congregate, mix it up, and come away with different perspectives about the world around us.

People value what they know; the pursuit of knowledge brings with it a more valuable life.
