Benedicto
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome,
dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
May your rivers flow without end,
meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells,
past temples and castles and poets’ towers
into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys
howl,
through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert
of red
rock,
blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless
stone,
and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm
where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs,
where deer walk across white sand beaches,
where storms come and go
as lightning clangs upon the high crags,
where something strange and more beautiful
and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams
waits for you –
beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.
– Edward Abbey
(Edward Abbey is an American writer whose works reflect
an uncompromising environmentalist philosopy)
