“Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am, -- a reluctant enthusiast, a part-time crusader, a half hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourself for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the West. It is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still there. So, get out there and hut and fish and mess around with your friends, explore the forests, encounter the griz, climb the mountains, run the ribers. Sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the loverly mysterious awesome space.” Edward Abbey.
I particularly like the line: ". . .a half hearted fanatic."
That is my goal. Be a fanatic, but half heartedly so!
