I have always felt a deep connection to water. Whether for physical, spiritual, or unexplained reasons, the parallel between the veins in my body and the rivers on this planet has resonated with me since I can remember. 

My immediate concern is the recent plethora decisions that abuse our rivers - particularly the Athabasca - and all that surround them. I have faith that we will soon begin to reverse these poor decisions and I eagerly await joining the Connecting the Drops journey for a few paddle strokes... to encourage decision-makers to make a few pen strokes, ultimately taking us in a different direction.
