Always Pioneering

“You’re always a pioneer if you’ve never done it before. The adventure’s still out there… You just gotta go find it.
—Eric Auxier, The Last Bush Pilots

In God’s wildness lies the hope of the world—the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off, and wounds heal ere we are aware.
—“John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir,” (1938), page 317.

“…let’s promise each other not to become so afraid of potential dangers that we miss God’s adventures.”
—Charles R. Swindoll

“There’s a path through every forest, and a safe passage somewhere through every marsh, it needs only the finding.”
—Ellis Peters, Chronicles of Brother Cadfael, An Excellent Mystery
