not the diaries of a road warrior

Last night I went camping. The conclusion I reached was that I must start sleeping outside more often. (i.e. all the time)

As we were biking up to camp camp camping I reveled in the trees and grass and smells and river hummings. It reminded me... 
The family cabin is on a ranch of cabins. They ranch cabins over here. For El Rancho to continue to be protected by El Fire Fighters we have all been instructed we must cut down trees around our oasis (cabins) and cut all the dead stuff off the mountainside.

I get stuck in an inner battle here. Doesn't nature have ways of taking care of herself? So are we clenching nature in a heavy fisted hand so that we might have our cake and eat it too?

Finally on that trail last night, bicycling up the fourth to last hill, as I was thinking what a joy this cabin has been for me and ma famille I realized a significant little thing: we must be ever so grateful and honored that we enjoy these things.



Gee, that wrapped up tritely but I am a bit fatigued...
