Red Rock Lakes NWR & Wild thingsRed Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge & Wild things

And some who can not.

Count me as one of those people who can not live without wild things. I need the wild things as surely as I need food, one feeds my body and the other my spirit, passions and desires. I need the peace, solitude and the joy that all wild things give me to help soothe away the concerns, worries and stresses of everyday life.

I am never more comfortable in my own skin than I am when I am surrounded by wild things be they mountains, streams, lakes, forests, oceans, deserts or the wild inhabitants of the land, water or sky.

I am a part of the wild things even though my outsides might be adorned with the trappings of civilization my heartbeat still tells me I am wild.

I hope that the wild things will always be with us and that those who currently believe they don’t need wild things will come to realize that each of us do.
