I've had great times at Bowen Ranch and have felt more safe there than in public places.
I especially like the fact that this private camp is being looked after and protected. It hasn't changed much in many years, unlike so many "commercial" public camp sites with their detestable mortor and cement graffitec man made temples to control... graffiti being the building structures themselves.
Everbody wants control, don't they? And non speak louder than those who wish to control. Those that don't, don't say much and usually just enjoy.
Often, looking at our own habbits and actions are the hardest to see... even harder to see is how, by those actions or energies that we put forth, we push others to have simular actions or "reaction". It makes no differnce "who started it". If someone else does not stop the chain of ill events, then it is only you who can break the chain. It's like refusing to "pass the buck".
No attacks creates no enemies. No slander brings no one down.
Where is your part in this?
We either lift each other up or bring each other down. No Mike Castros or or anybody on this list is free of this.
By what stroke of energy will this stop?
There is relatively little trash at Bowen Ranch, relatively little trash at Deep Creek. The springs are currently open to all by many means. ... accept to those who cannot hike a trail.
How lucky you are to even be able to go there under your own power, your own two legs.
Remember, just your own presence is a blip of "graffiti" sitting in the springs for everyone else to recon with. You cannot be more righteous than another human being.
One day, non of us will be able to hike to the beloved spring.
Be glad there are forces that allow you to be there, in all of it's manifestations, agreeable or not. Because it can all disappear in the blink of an eye.
$4-5 is a very small fee indeed. Should YOU want to visit at the hot springs so many times that everytime someone visits they always see YOU and should YOU exclude only those YOU think are not worthy. Everyone seems to have an idea who that is, and many do not agree who that includes.
Controlling people will always meet opostion, no one will be free of that.
When you slander someone else, you become in question... 'makes no difference whether you are right or wrong.
When you slander someone else, everyone is "brought down".
When you think of ways to HELP one another and do things to HELP one another then everyone is lifted up.
I wish to control the bickering... have I contributed or have I stopped it? Do you see how this works?
Peace
