“Broken tree branches
Scattered flowers
Bent street light poles
Cut electricity lines
Dead birds
But the weather is beautiful, and the breeze is refreshing…
My heart is full of an after-storm peace and tranquility…
The real tranquility is the one that follows not precedes the storm…

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity”
