Yeah, you know those montage scenes in the movies where the character undergoes a transformation?…yeah, there’s no nice soundtrack, it’s not smooth, and if it weren’t time-compressed on screen, it’d take a whole lot longer than the movie. — thought that occurred to me

There is a thread which runs through the world…
from the faintest flap of the moth, to the thunderous clap of the waterfall from the brightest ray of the sunshine, to the darkest shimmering of the night ocean in the painter’s brush, and the cellist’s bow in the quiet repose, in the aching soul
And I will praise Him still, creator of all wonder And I will praise Him still, in the midst of all its calamity
Though I be vexed by imperfection, to Him I owe my affection He still delights in what faint offering we have to give
And I will praise Him still

The Kammok Glider is the first ever consumer camping shelter to include built-in rain retention technology. An adjustable suspension allows for natural rain gutters; water is channeled along the tent’s curves to the four feet of the canopy. Flexible water bottles at the base of the feet collect the rainwater for immediate drinking or storage.
