ECO-TERRORISM?

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:32:19 -0700

Eco-terrorism!? Not people running around "protecting the environment" Monkey Wrench Gang style.... But folks in the profession of restoring rivers and lakes. You know that nature can heal itself don't you? Everyone should just leave everything alone. .......Right?

I can understand this line of thinking but there are some issues... Out here in the arid West - water IS gold. As the saying goes... Wiskeys for drinkin' and wat ...

First Dip

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:27:11 -0700

Remember your first dip? Tentative?! Exciting... Will it be cold? ....I'm not sure that I'm going to do it... yes, yes I need to - or do I want to?

Water!!!! Ahh - I'm doing it! I'm in...Wow...so different yet sort of what I expected! Why was I so afraid to get in... It's so much fun.

Don't miss out on awesome life opportunities because of hesitatio ...

Headwaters

Headwaters....where rivers start... the beginning... small, quiet, seemingly powerless

Yet it's the start of big things to come!!!

Beginnings

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 20:45:31 -0700

The start of new things....exciting....nervous.....anticipation.... - a time for reflection? Ah, did I do everything right? Should it be starting now.... What am I doing, anyway?! Wow - all these emotions, all so vivid. LIFE! Giddee up! All things BEGIN....some beginnings are announced, others are realized long after...

Morning, crisp - the air with wisps of crystally fog... The moon not wanting to relinquish

Long Time

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:34:48 -0700

It has been a long time.... I've been constructing fish habitat and river restoration on the Cache la Poudre River in Colorado. I will begin posts (and yes, some pictures) soon.... Thanks to all that have offered such nice comments and messages

Great to be a part of the Shoutpost community!

Pools

Thu, 01 Mar 2007 17:33:45 -0800

As usual, I was looking at a stream and thinking how life is a series of pools and riffles... sprints and rests... one minute you're so busy that you can't even imagine how you got that way and there are times when you really wish you could scare up something to do....
I've heard people say "When it rains it pours..." Yah that's called the riffles of life.
"...its awesome if u decide to cross over in entirety...i couldnt do that...my mind crossed over, my body lies on this side of the river- tied to a lot of other things...n now the physical me is right in the middle of a lot of things that dont make any sense any more...and i have quite literally lost my mind to t ...

Bridges

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:23:00 -0800

Decisions... lot's of choices... at the time all seem that they have good and bad things associated with them. How are you supposed to know what is the right choice? Is there a right choice? Why won't someone or something just tell you what is right?
Have you ever sat on one side of a river and wondered how you were going to get across to the other side? A simple version of the situation above...swim? ...walk to a narrow crossing - but the water gets fast - you may get swept ...

Reflections

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 19:32:59 -0800

There are times to sit back and reflect....memories...smells...laughter....pain...

What was real. Was the pain that bad? Were the memories that good? How well are you able to peer through the circumstances and see the truth? Is it based on feelings? Logic?....or is it something that cannot be seen ...something deep within you? ....Something large and awesome...something that allows the surface reflections to fade and the depths to be examined.
If you don't have a plan, someone will have one for you... So I've heard. Independance and all that... Why is it so hard to plan what you want to do? Maybe....we don't know the outcome. Yes - it is scripted...and we have free will. Weird! Not r ...

Build Up

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 18:02:31 -0800

I sometimes feel like everything builds up in me...like a dam...ready to expode. Little by little the ice builds...accumulates...reroutes the flow of my day -
I've been very sunny lately....no build up!

Later! drift

What's Wrong?

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 16:18:47 -0800

It's virtually impossible to really fix what you don't know is wrong. I mean, how many things are so easy to fix that the answer is skin deep? Yah - so... many folks will offer up their opinion of the "magic bullet fix" by briefly looking at the problem - all the while they're just waiting slap you around with their amazing "foresight"...Another way to say it is: To a hammer, all problems loo ...

The Main Thing

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:59:12 -0800

Have you ever been talking to someone about all the things going on in your life and the more you talk, the heavier all your burdens get, and the more confused you become?

The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing. $\"water$

Beliefs

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:34:05 -0800

I'll tell you what... It seems that any good thing - anything of substance - starts and ends with a solid core of beliefs. Sit back and take a ride...
In the midnight Arctic Seas,
Stained tropical rivers at dawn,
the Gulf Stream at noon,
