Everyone possesses a special hidden place that only a few others see, perhaps our parents, or our children, or our partners that accompany us in our journey through life. In this place is our heart and our soul, and we shield this because it is so delicate, so that when we do reveal it to those we love it is a moment that transcends mere words. At Yosemite Valley the Earth reveals to us its heart and its soul, its life and its breath.

We have but one real purpose in life, and all other purposes grow from this purpose. That purpose is to go to the places that reach into our being and make us understand what it is to be human. Come, and you will understand.
