I read, “I don’t hunt turkeys because I
want to but because I have to.”
I thought of what was later said,
the love of having to do what you
can’t do otherwise. And how all things
that surround that “have to” are lovable
too. Regardless what they are; if they
are attached, they demand the same
care and consideration as the primary urge
that has chosen you. Not a bad way
to live. I believe one of those Greek
philosophers called it following “your
daemon.” That which joins the human
and divine and guides your life.
Not a popular idea today that there
may be something in us that knows
and cares more about us than we do --
the best thing to do to follow where
we’re lead. You could say, “Just
a crazy ass turkey hunter!” But
you can’t say you’re not hunting
for something in this life; it’d be
nice to have a “have to” leading
you in your way.
-Byron Hoot
