First and foremost I'm a recovering alcoholic. I can't ever place anything or anyone above that. It is said in AA that when you place anyone or anything above recovery, it will be the first thing you lose. When I'm not spending time with recovering people or at church, or working, you can find my on the water fishing, riding my Surly through out Flint and the parks systems. There is actually some excellent parks with in minutes of Flint, just take the time to get out of the city, it really is a place that can be restored!!!
"John Muir: Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life." The Peace of Wild Things When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. — Wendell Berry
