Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.

The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant, "What good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.

Racing Rain 21 March 2017 The rain clouds have been chasing me around but I beat them home today! The wind made for strong resistance training on my round river loop with novice Michelle. She is a strong rider but still has trouble clipping in and is very nervous downhill, so I was waiting and guiding for the first half of the ride. We went in different directions at the half way point so I was able to put my foot down and race the rain front. 🚲☁

I aim to incorporate stretching and mobility into my training routine. It makes a big difference, especially to my spinal health. I normally do my own mobility sequence but this week my challenge group set a yoga session for bonus points. I tried the Down Dog app. It was pretty good, and of course little Mitzy wasn’t far away. 🐶🌀

In honor of Sir David Attenborough Week I thought I'd share a silly documentary that we shot in northern British Columbia as part of a Round River Conservation Studies student program in 2010. We had been watching The Life of Mammals all summer on DVD and were inspired to share some of our own adventures in Attenborough style. Enjoy!

More great Attenborough moments can be found here.

Thinking Like A Mountain

This is one my personal favourite tunes that I have written.  My first arrangement of the melody was grandiose and elaborate.  But then I just sat down and played it on the acoustic guitar and it’s simplicity spoke far more clearly and purposefully to me,…
