IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY

I recall riding back from the Adirondacks in a snow storm. It was slippery, cold, and the riding was a bit tough.

I think of the sailors and fishermen who are forced to take to the sea in Winter. Sometimes they meet smooth seas: other times they meet Hell.

Yet they persevere. They know what they want, and they will not be deterred.

They understand their place in the universe and they embrace it.

Quite admirable, no?
