A breath, a step, a heartbeat. The shadow of a cloud, racing over the land. Cloud and granite; moment and eon. Same laws of physics for both, but different affect. Or the composite affect of the two interpenetrated: very much a Sierra feeling. The eon in every moment.

Important in this was Muir's often-expressed love of animals. [...] During his childhood, farm animals had stood in for the human friends he never had; he regarded them as intelligent and worthy of our care, even our reverence. He often used the phrase "our horizontal brothers and sisters," which even now speaks to us in ways we have not taken on.

The LSD made the blisters seem trivial, even funny. I named one Jacob and the other Crouch, and the one developing on the front of my ankle I named Achilles, which I thought was very funny. Yes, I was stoned.

I spent many years in my youth in the Sierra's. High and low. I've since lived "and still do" in many mountain ranges. For me? Nothing has or will ever compared to the Sierras. The smell. The honest taste of the air. The fresh mountain spring water! Sublime!

Nothing has or will ever compared to the Sierras. The smell. The hones..." Oh, Lisa, how fortunate and wonderful! Then this book is like a good old friend to you! I haven't seen them and probably never will, but KSR does a pretty good job conveying his love for them, that I feel like I'm there with him. That's one thing I love about books, they can make you live in them 🥰
Sounds like an incredible reading experience so far, Claudia! Hope the rest is just as immersive. Looking forward to your review :)
