National Treasures
Devil's Tower in Wyoming was the first US National Monument, so designated on this day in 1906 by President Teddy Roosevelt. It makes me feel more than a little guilty that I spend so little time exploring the natural world these days.
In my life I've waited tables, raised sons, taught school, published books, and railed at politicians. I'm building a house, next to my son, where I can spend time with my granddaughter. I read, write, and dream about being immortal.

Don't feel guilty. You spend a lot of time thinking of the natural world. That's exploration...
But my soul longs for more...
