It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbled or the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred
by sweat and dust and blood; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions
and spends himself in worthy causes; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst if
he fails, as least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither
victory or defeat.
...by Theodore Roosevelt
Did you know? That so much old growth timber had been cut by 1891 that the
Federal Timber Reserve Act was implemented to protect a portion of the remaining old growth.
And that President Teddy Roosevelt, a true conservationist, created what
was known as
"the midnight reserves" on his last days in office in 1907 to protect
even more.
 
To
dream beautiful dreams
and
to strive for them with all your heart.
To
take your talents & use them wisely and well.
To
love, to laugh, to give with joy
and
to look forward to each tomorrow...
that
is what it is to truly live.

It took me a long time to realize that
this is where it all started:
Voice
The forest of feeling
that lives in my courtyard
knocked on my front door today
and asked if I could be
the voice that she wanted
to say what she needed to say.
...j.a. Kendrick (1971)
