"Surviving is ‘Don’t!'
To live is ‘Do!’” . . . C. Vaughs
"Cliff Vaughs Remembered"
Cliff changed the trajectory of my life at 18 and again — 52 years later — at 70. He continues to inspire me to live life to the fullest, to keep my heart open, to accept life as it is, not to judge those whose shoes you haven’t walked in, and to honor the magic and mystery of a connected universe . This video is my tribute to the man who was my first love, and who remains with me in spirit.
" The whole idea is to wrap your arms around the engine and RIDE!"
. . . C. Vaughs
