Personal Perspective Gallery

When things are not going well I look to this trio to put things in perspective. I should be able to handle much lesser situtations than them.



On December 13th, 2006 Danelle Ballengee fell sixty feet while trail running in Moab, UT. Fifty-two hours later her dog,

Taz, led Grand County Search and Rescue personnel to her location. Danelle suffered several fractures to

her pelvic bone, sacrum and lower vertebrae. 150 days after this she finished a 60 mile Adventure race.


Paralysed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair, ex-professional yachtsman Geoffery Holt will sail over 1,600 miles around Great Britain in an inspirational Challenge that will take in excess of 50 days to complete. The Personal Everest Challenge will be exactly that, Geoff’s own Personal Everest.

A Severely Interesting Poem

A Muscular rest
while
A Berlin is active at the synagogue.
on a
Cool Sandwich only day.

Cigarettes advertised as severely interesting
but
Christian rock bands more rockier than mainstream bands.

All varieties of runners showing all sorts of forms....

What a cool name: Rebel Smith

Hope it's not my last graduation, hope I keep learning and changing.

Poem: Shape of Life

The scene made sense adjusting to the Shape of Life.

Speeding and crashing on the way to the p-rade.

Dangerous house husband swans.

Running and how to breathe while doing so.
Find an air conditioned book store oasis.

Running in rain=en route cool down.
