The Wilderness
Is Not a Place
It is a state of being.
The Wilderness Is Not a Place
It is a state of being.
There is a silence in the wild
that cannot be described — only experienced.
It begins where control ends.
What We Are Really Searching For
Perhaps it is not the image we seek.
But the feeling —
of being, for an instant,
part of something untamed.

What remains
is not the image itself,
but the memory
of having been there.
