2025 Re-Cap: Since pandemic, it seems like we are entering a strange new world. Meanwhile over the levee, and over the bluff, life flows along pretty much the same as it always has. And that is, with the qualities that create the best of who we are as humans — in the sense of our spirits, our ethics and our morals. On the river we all share in the same meals, sleep in the same tents, and drink from the same jugs of water. We all paddle together across the big waters to reach the paradise-like islands of the big river. We are visitors to a land already inhabited by other layers of creation, and with whom we share our great mother earth — all 8.7 million species (at last count). Paddling the big canoe draws youth into the practice of balance, and equality. We seek balance within ourselves, and then as a group. The big canoe and the giant sandbars are the perfect classrooms for our methodology.

We are on "River Time," but one thing we are never late for — getting our kids on the river!
