WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. At night the Everest summit ridge follows an eratic path into the Milky Way Galaxy. Falling to the right is a 12,000 ft fatal trip into Tibet. Falling to the left is a fatal 8,000 ft drop into Nepal. It was like climbing a lightening bolt of rock and ice into the stars. Mountaineering wilderness experiences have changed my life and created a sense of sacred awe.

  2. Wilderness is a source of spiritual insight, energy, and wonder.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  1. “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” —John Muir

  2. “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.”—Henry David Thoreau (Walden)

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  1. What frequency, intensity, and duration do you deeply connect with wilderness and experience spiritual insight, energy, and awe?

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
