And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My wife lost a boot sole last year near the top of Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa if you're Welsh. It was raining and slippery even with both soles. She made it down to Pen-Y-Pas, though, on basically one boot at 69 y.o. Proud of her!
Maybe "Anni" is too young to remember John Denver's song, "Rocky Mountain High."
ReplyDeleteWhen there is more Blue above and around than Earth below, then you know you are in high country. Bad place to twist an ankle - travel with care.
