Wind River Wyoming
It may have been about 10 years ago give or take a couple that this could have been a picture I would have taken. Near the top of a loop in Wind River Wyoming is a basin where we camped. Actually we were just over the hill looking back on these peaks. We had a bunch of young men, son Mike included, and we spent several days hiking to this spot. Our hero Pat, neighbor and guide for all those on this trip camped their two. We had tents like this. That indeed could have been me looking out of our small tent. The night we camped here our neighbor and hero Pat got up a few hours early to go climb the front of these peaks. He made it back in time for us to go on on our hike that day. We hiked each day for about a week.
We didn't worry about
running into a Wolf
We did see bear tracks each day. Lou Holtz wrote a book, "Winning every Day". I remember the book when I see wolf packs for this quote:
"the strenght of the pack was in the wolf
and the strenth of the wolf was in the pack"
It does indeed make a differnce who you assoicate with. Learning to work together is important.
Maybe for Maya Angelou her life was more of alone that part of a support group. She recalls in many of her books her life growing up as a young black girl. She struggles but as she recalls she seems to show the growth she gained and does so with poetry. I like this quote of hers in the book:
"without willing it I had gone form being ignorant of being ignorant to being aware of being aware"
Maybe Lou Holtz is telling us that he is very aware that he is not ignorant..............................................
Lou Holtz takes his football and thoughts about wolf packs to a conclusion by making a statement about the team:For him this wolf pack and the strenght of the the
individuals and the pack mean:
"you don't need a superstar performance on your team just get everyone to contribute their best effort"
Guess it is ok that Lou is a Superstar
