“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am – a reluctant enthusiast….a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.”
― Edward Abbey
Just a couple days out in the chapel fishing. That’s where I’m headed. Oh my yes, the number crunchers are still crunching and writing me at 7pm; the insecure decision makers are wringing their hands…I must mentor better; the world weighs heavy right now on those about me truly trying to help the needy. I will be back in short order, no worries. I got Every Day in May covered too… ‘the moment’ awaits. Besides, I really need a few fish pics to savor later.
