I miss
My friend Tom
He died
Too soon
He taught many
The possibilities of the
Canoe
To trip in the wilderness for weeks
Alone
To play everyday
With others
To craft a wooden beauty
To encourage a composite adaptation
There is no right
Or wrong
He never
Set boundaries
With a canoe.
The canoe can
Have a deck
Or not
Be paddled with a double blade
Or not
More precisely with a single.
Go straight
Or spin
Above all , sideslip
Explore
Have fun.
We as paddlers are all one.
 
Really nice. I often wear the hat Tom gave me when paddling. I don't know if it helps my style. One disadvantage to living paddling for me,is that I enjoy winter less. Can't wait to get my paddle wet again.
