    Mountains have a dreamy way
    Of folding up a noisy day
    In quiet covers, cool and gray.

    Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.

    Surely, God never did.

    Awesome. I went ahead and looked at the original Reddit thread, and it was VERY interesting. Good find!
    I used to be a somebody, now I just camp.

    Hammocksutra dates back at least as far as the Mayan or Incas.
    Probably as far back as the first hammock.
