Comments on: Extra Credit Journaling: Cave Diving http://www.nothinggold.net/blog/archives/453 In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Did Natalie get her package yet? We got the first package for Elijah yesterday. I meant to email you, but didn't get around to it. Sorry 'bout that. The claustrophobic aspect of the show wasn't that bad, because the video from the actual dive didn't last that long. Sorry about your hubby's friend. I know it's been a while, but, still, I hate to hear that. Gotta run! The baby is crying. :) Heather, thanks for the complement. :) I will keep an eye out for the good mail!

What a sad story.....one of my husband's high school buddies, Doug, died 6 years ago while diving in Hawaii. It was sort of creeping me out that all the guys names started with a D...I know, I am weird. Rachel, you write so well. Your descriptions made me feel as though I was there or at least watching the show with ya! Be on the lookout for some "Good Mail" from your Arizona friends!

When you think of some of the things people do . . .going into space, diving into the ocean depths, climbing to the tops of treacherous mountains . . . it's mind boggling. I couldn't do it. I have no desire to do it. Just think, though, of the knowledge that mankind has accumulated from successful . . . and unsuccessful . . . adventurers. If it weren't for those that dare to risk it all just to go a little bit farther than most of us, it would be like humanity going through life with blinders on. Someone has to look around the corner.

Why in the world would you do that, knowing that Deon had died, and you very possibly could die too. I was feeling clausterphobic just reading your blog. I would have had a hard time watching that. :) I think some people are brave, and some people are stupid.
