From River Talk:
Many of us engaged in river work get stuck in the details of "getting the next thing done." This is understandable, given how much there is that can be done, how many people and organizations are involved, and how complex truly interesting and transformative projects are.
But we don't give ourselves an awful lot of room to dream. And when we do dream, locked into our organizational boxes as we are, the future tends to look a lot like the present but more (more ecological, more popular, etc.)
Here's where working with students can be so much fun.
