When I was taking a first aid course an interesting statistic was
brought up.  The instructor said that sixty percent of accident victims
are would be rescuers.  More people get hurt trying to help an accident
victim than there were accident victims in the first place!

    Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are
visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a
great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
