Well said Michael; I think you've nailed it here. "Paddler" is, in no small way, a state of one's spirit. Sure - we must paddle - but we share something more than just how long our boats are, what they're made of, or what brand of paddle we dip in the waters of this magical planet. A common water runs through our veins. I paddle; therefore I am (a paddler!).
