THINGS YOU WILL ONLY ENCOUNTER WHILE TRAVELING WITH GREG PFLUG

Tuesday, October 11, 2011


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 those desk-bound men 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, Desert Solitaire
