"Be at peace with your own soul, then heaven and earth will be at peace with you"
St. Jerome, on the feast day of St. Jerome, 09/30/2009
Little Jerome with his boulder city on the shores of Cathedral Lake, 08/17/09.
St. Jerome and John Muir had a lot in common. Note their similarities in the pictures above. St. Jerome lived over 1,600 years ago and spent much of his life monastically by praying, fasting and studying. He actually lived in a cave for a few years. John Muir lived 100 years ago and spent his life hiking and climbing in the brilliant sunshine of the Sierras. Actually, I guess St. Jerome and John Muir had very little in common, except for their beards. They both had really cool beards. They also liked Rocky Road ice cream, although this is pure conjecture.
