Mark 6:31 (NIV) Jesus said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.” -Henry David Thoreau
"To be awake is to be alive." -Henry David Thoreau
"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." -Henry David Thoreau
Lauren, Nora and I went on tues to see the tree houses. we had a blast. While the flowers and slide were cool, I was a bit disappointed in the hobbit house. I wanted more.
