All through the stall to things Spring, minds wander. Why is it that food off the campfire seems to taste so good? Eggs and bacon off a greasy cabin skillet can stimulate the buds beyond the efforts of the finest restaurants? The warmth and protection of a sleeping bag in the wild will welcome us more that even most heavily threaded linen? Why do we revel in less…..and feel we have so much more? A pair of worn out jeans are considered far more valuable than anything new. The man’s old fishing cap….a well grooved ax handle …..a sturdy pair of leather boots………we value that which endures. Those places to be, implements to use, and ideas to share that can be sustained. Things we don’t have to give up because they cost too much….either in time, dollars, or freedom of thought.
