On the left is Mt Whitney, the highest geographical point in the continental United States. 14,504 feet It took millions of years to reach this height. I have an innate calling to the mountains when I am there I feel at peace with the world my life seems right. The quote is from a great man named John Muir, “the mountains are calling and I must go" the first time I read that quote I felt a certain kinship to this man who lived 100 years ago he is the father of forestry he lived his life in these mountains he died fighting to have them protected as they are today so that people like myself can find their peace.
On the right is the giant sequoia General Sherman amongst the most radiant living organisms in the world. This living breathing creature has long survived all the conflict and turmoil us humans create to me this represents all that I love all the natural beauty in the world. I can see it wherever I am my fondest memory as a child is seeing this tree staring at it in awe.
