“The land is like poetry:
it is inexplicably coherent,
it is transcendent in its meaning,
and it has the power to elevate
a consideration of human life.”

“Capitol Reef National Park is in Utah’s south-central desert. It surrounds a long wrinkle in the earth known as the Waterpocket Fold, with layers of golden sandstone, canyons and striking rock formations. Among the park’s sights are the Chimney Rock pillar, the Hickman Bridge arch, and Capitol Reef, known for its white sandstone domes. In the north are the towering monoliths of Cathedral Valley.” ― Google

“What one thinks of any region,
while traveling through,

is the result of at least three things:
what one knows,
what one imagines,
and how one is disposed.”

— Barry Lopez

The Last Bill Moyers Journal   Leave a comment

Bill Moyers Journal ended its current run last Friday (April 30, 2010). Over the last few years it had become one of my favorite TV programs, so it will be most missed. What better way to end the series than for Moyers to sit down with two of his favorite people, author Barry Lopez and Texas populist, Jim Hightower. You can watch Moyer’s discussion with each by clicking on their names.
