Dan, I have come to really appreciate the thoughts you share and the power they have to take me there in my mind. I have spent wonderful hours walking in the woods and being close to nature; at this point in my life I have three busy children, a job, and an Old McDonald's type farm with a moo moo here and a cluck cluck there to care for, so my moments of solitude in "nature" are much rarer than they once were. Your writings always take me back to that and bring a much needed sense of quiet and serenity. Thank you!
