Wildness Reflected - Mission Mountains View From Ninepipe Wildlife Refuge, Montana

“What would the world be, once bereft 
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, 
O let them be left, wildness and wet; 
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”

-Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889), 

from Inversnaid 

Mission Angel - St Ignatius, Montana

“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.”

"....But we are all entitled to

And victims of our point of view

Until we take off shoes we wore

In miles we never walked before."
