mOnUmEntAl

This past Thursday, I watched a documentary about a man named David Brower. Who is that? That is precisely what I asked, so I did a little research.. imagine that. Well, David Brower was an avid mountain climber and outdoorsman who loved nature. He was an executive director of the Sierra club many years ago and founded a few organizations concerned with the preservation of natural areas. The film, Monumental, was very humbling... to say the least!! You can check it out at http://www.loteriafilms.org/. Who knew one person could do so much!?! It makes me feel as though I've spent my whole life as a bump on a log. It also makes me realize that there is so much more to do and that my obligations have yet to be met (though I still don't know what they are). I would highly recommend checking out the movie, if you get the opportunity, and if not, at least look into what David Brower accomplished, one website is: http://www.earthisland.org/brower/sub_bio.cfm. Perhaps it can motivate us all to take action for what we care about and want others to have the opportunity to enjoy.
