Worry is feckless - energy wasted for naught. Concern breeds action. Being outdoors in interesting places is the thing. Birding is just the excuse. Outdoors is my love.
Life is a crap shoot.
Sadly, 'crap' is the operative word. The machine is not smart enough to comprehend the way you do things. I am really not a cynic. This culture really is fucked up. Perfection, if sought, will elude us forever.
