An excellent way to spend the next two minutes

Here is a 2 minutes and 22 seconds youtube video that I think sums up the whole point of this life and all other lives well lived.

I think Whelen said a similar thing in his book preface as I recall, but still that video is also a good little stir.

Found the Townsend Whelen lines via amazon,
"Many of us work harder than we want, at things we don't want to do, to afford an existence we'd rather not live. If one hears the call of open spaces why should he not answer as fully as he can, while eyes will never be keener nor stride more lusty". 1958

Wish I'd heard these words when I was younger. Glad to be hearing them even now.
