The Universe as an Infinite Storm of Beauty

For twelve years Maria Popova has studied letters, biographies, books, articles, essays and more, produced by the great artists, scientists, philosophers, and religious teachers of recent centuries. She finds threads of wisdom running concurrent through many of their works, and has tirelessly sent out newsletters loaded with inspirations and realizations mined from their depths. We highlight this particular article on John Muir because we saw it in today's Brain Pickings, and it speaks to our most sacred beliefs. We think Maria Popova's service to humanity is beyond measure – We have been inspired and uplifted by her collections numerous times, and we thank her for the effort she puts into her work. Please subscribe to Brian Pickings and become a regular donor. She deserves it!
