Today I went out to help with the trail building and had a really good morning in the cool air. I was still undecided about my future employment but was looking for the last piece of information to make the decision come into focus. Then I got back home and flipped on the television to see the Star Trek movie where Spock dies. It is one of my favorite movie scenes. The moment I saw the movie title I remembered that line. Truly the needs of the many have influenced my decision. The many I work with. My family. My own schedule of riding and things I enjoy. So even though I may have regrets for staying, I'd probably have more regrets for leaving. So there it is.
'For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands.' Seneca
