When a mans best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem. – Edward Abbey
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. – Edward Abbey
Thats the best thing about walking, the journey itself. It doesnt matter much whether you get where youre going or not. Youll get there anyway. Every good hike brings you eventually back home. – Edward Abbey
I dont see how poetry can ever be easy… Real poetry, the thick, dense, intense, complicated stuff that lives and endures, requires blood sweat; blood and sweat are essential elements in poetry as well as behind it. – Edward Abbey
