 | Jim McMahon: Life Can Be Like This |
"For landscapes to become healthier, people need to alter their ways--their land-use practices, their consumption patterns, and their pollution-generating activities. Such changes don't come easily, a reality that few people know as well as Jim McMahon, a veteren promoter of land health. McMahon understands the kinds of shifts that are needed today, particularly in rural communities like his own. And he can describe the hard work that first needs to occur: the research, education, discussion, and planning. Most of all, though, he can talk about the patience that needs to be stockpiled, drawn on, and periodically replenished if a community based conservation effort is to have hope of success."

"I use an intuitive approach to conservation and I trust that the universe will provide guidance and answers, better outcomes than we might ever be capable of imagining ourselves. I ask people to jointly confront the issues before us and have found that together we are able to craft truly creative and unique solutions." Jim McMahon
' Therefore those who win every battle are not really skillful---those who render others' armies helpless without fighting are the best of all' Sun Tzu The Art of War
As my good friend, Harry Leavitt, and I say to each other: " Life works, if you let it."
We often get in our own way and if you can let go of a particular outcome, while holding your will to the notion of achievement, anything is possible. Try it, you'll be amazed.
Jim McMahon
