Into The Wild

Tonight I watched the end of the film 'Into The Wild'. A truly beautiful film celebrating the grandeur and grace of nature. Living off the land, with no need for material goods,

being outside, roaming with horses, reading great literature, singing, breathing, living and relishing life. Being alone but not lonely. This film is based on the real life travels of Christopher McCandless. 

On August 12, 1992, McCandless wrote what are apparently his final words in his journal: "Beautiful Blueberries."He tore the final page from Louis L 'Amour's memoir, Education of a Wandering Man, which contains an excerpt from a Robinson Jeffers poem titled "Wise Men in Their Bad Hours":

And I especially liked these words

"The mountains are dead stone, the people
Admire or hate their stature, their insolent quietness,
The mountains are not softened or troubled"
