Happy Birthday, John Muir!

 In honor of the day, here’s a bit from “Two Little Feet” by Greg Brown:

 I got two little feet to get me ‘cross the mountain

two little feet to carry me away into the woods

Two little feet, a big mountain, and a

cloud comin’ down cloud comin’ down cloud comin’ down

….

John Muir walked away into the mountains

in his old overcoat, a crust of bread in his pocket

we have no knowledge and so we have stuff and

stuff with no knowledge is never enough to get you there

it just won’t get you there

      – Greg Brown, “Two Little Feet”
