Question

The authors of "A Mountain Calling and "The Mountain Trail and Its Message" both present John Muir's thoughts on the concept of "sauntering." From information in both passages, what did "sauntering" mean to Muir and how he lived his life?

Answer 1

To John Muir, the idea of "sauntering" meant more than just the physical act of sauntering. He saw it as somewhat of a reverent experience, and thought that it was important to saunter, because it allows people to take in and enjoy the simple things in life, rather than rushing through them.
