Hoof Hand

2010-06-27T17:43:00.000-04:00

Somewhere in Southern Utah...

There was a time in my life when the hot days of June would be spent in the deserts of the Southwest, chasing grass and sage fires followed by long mop up shifts with my crew. As the summer moved on, the deserts would give way to the timber and the mountains, and soon the leaves would be changing, my body would be tired, and everyone was thinking about never doing the job next year.

I guess I'm getting to the point where those days are "long past" and I doubt I'll ever see them again. Someone saw my beltbuckle the other day and said "they could use you in Arizona."

Part of me was thankful I wasn't in Arizona.

Another part of me would trade everything in the world to be there once again.

Dead of Winter

2009-01-01T23:52:00.000-05:00

We honor them best when they're dead.

When they're alive we ask too much of them. We take young men, some still boys, and young women, some still girls, and ask them to do terrible things. We line them up, march them around, and line them up again. We send them to faraway lands where people don't look like them, don't talk like them, and don't act like them, except that they too have been lined up and marched around. Far away from their mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. There, we line them up, march them around, and line them up again.

Some do not come home, but most do. We line them up, march them around, and line them up again. We tell them thank you, pat them on the back, and send them back to the neighborhood they came from. They settle down, build lives and families, struggle with live. Some don't adjust well, but most do. They get jobs, pay taxes, and retire. They get sick, wind up in the hospital. Some don't make it, but most do. And when they don't make it, over there or over here, we line them up.

And honor them best.

Camp Life

2008-10-23T22:25:00.000-04:00

"I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when it came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what is not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out the marrow of life, to live sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to tout all that was not life; to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, to reduce it to its lowest terms, and if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it on my next excursion."

- Henry David Thoreau
