How late into the fall do you paddle whitewater?
(William R. Watt) couldn't help himself and
spouted:
... For many of us, it's through
recreation that we achieve real spiritual fulfillment.
sorry, whitewater paddling is a testoterone thing, not a spiritual thing.
like sex and love. sex only feels like love. for a true spiritually
fullfilling recreational activity I recommend dog walking.
Wow, we have our own closed mind theorist here!
I hope you mind me saying so, but you sound a bit like the pope
talking about sex. Not very convincing...
As for (yet another of) your whitewater paddling assumptions: If
there's one thing I dislike, it's an adrenaline rush. I sure don't
paddle whitewater because of that, but because of things like
cameraderie, the feeling of being in touch with the river in so many
ways (definately spiritual as well), the feeling of concentrating so
hard on a line through a rapid and staying there exactly as I planned
it... There are many more reasons, but I doubt that you would be able
to comprehend those, seeing how much difficulty you already have
comprehending the basic reason why people enjoy white water paddling.
It is hard to be spiritual in the freezing dark while slogging through
knee deep snow. There's something that feels spiritual about sitting by a
warm fire.
Hmmm, you sure do not like to see outside of those blinders, do you
William? There is something very special about being out there in the
dark, and seeing the bright stars as well as all that snow everywhere,
that sure brings out something very spiritual inside me.
I certainly envy Albertans who don't pay provincial tax on gasoline or much of
anything else.
Coming from such a spiritual individual, I'm sure you can overcome the
envy of other people's monetary gains... :-)
