More From John Muir

Before practicing meditation, we see that mountains are mountains. when we start to practice, we see that mountains are no longer mountains. after practicing a while, we see that mountains are again mountains. now the mountains are very free. our mind is still with the mountains, but it is no longer bound to anything.
Practice Meditation Mind
The famous zen parable about the master for whom, before his studies, mountains were only mountains, but during his studies mountains were no longer mountains, and afterward mountains were again mountains could be interpreted as an alleory about [the perpetual paradox that when one is closest to a destination one is also the farthest).
Journey Hiking Mountain
An ancient buddha said, “mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” these words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.
Mean Water Mountain
The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as i do myself: the mountains exist simply, which i do not. the mountains have no "meaning," they are meaning; the mountains are. the sun is round. i ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when i can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. i understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when i read it all again, another day.
Heart Knowing Secret
The landscape was snow and green ice on broken mountains. these weren't old mountains, worn down by time and weather and full of gentle ski slopes, but young, sulky, adolescent mountains. they held secret ravines and merciless crevices. one yodel out of place would attract, not the jolly echo of a lonely goatherd, but fifty tons of express-delivery snow.
Lonely Echoes Ice
Because mountains are high and broad, the way of riding the clouds is always reached in the mountains; the inconceivable power of soaring in the wind comes freely from the mountains

You say, it's dark. and in truth, i did place a cloud before your sun. but do you not see how the edges of the cloud are already glowing and turning light.
Dark Clouds Light
It is not without reason that fame is awarded only after death. the cloud-dust of notoriety which follows and envelops the men who drive with the wind bewilders contemporary judgment.
