Change what you see

6-second video

Change what you see, what you see changes.

Change what you think, what think changes.

Both previous sentences are profoundly simple and simply profound.

Stillness. Quiet. Presence.

Mid Life Celebration 2017 throwback

9-second video from Lake McDonald, 2017.

Looks like we are rethinking these five daily, differently-themed posts.

We’ve done post combos:

  • Text posts with photos
  • Text posts with videos
  • Text only posts
  • Photo only posts

Have never done all five daily posts with videos though. That is, until three days ago. Let’s see what happens.

Parking lot .thinking .differently

11-sec video. Prior to shooting this video of Mt Oberlin, did an unplanned, last-minute summit hike as an end-of-season fitness test.

Prior to shooting this video of Mt Oberlin, did a last-minute summit hike as an end-of-season fitness test. Interesting what .thinking .differently offers you.

Spent a few hours at Logan Pass, mostly sitting in the car because it was “chilly”. Writing busily on the iPhone Notes app.

Swore i wasn’t going to do “one last farewell” hike. Why? Because after 60+ days that Summer, no need to squeeze in one more hike.

While writing and .thinking .differently, had this wild-fool idea to do a “fitness test”.

How fast could i summit Oberlin? Theoretically, at season end you are in peak fitness. Right?

Well, the prior year, randomly did a similar thing and summited Oberlin in 58 minutes (which stood as a personal record). So it was safe to assume i could summit in an hour and down in 40 minutes.

Roll film…

Short video: Highline Trail, September 29, 2017. The date is important because late September can mean you are the only one on a trail, or a mountain. No cell signal. Hungry Grizzlies preparing for hibernation.

Happy present moment. Today’s posts are short, six to 15-second video glimpses into my favorite teacher – Nature.

There are segments to Nature’s course work.

As a child, simply being outside, rolling in the grass, climbing a tree, or catching a firefly at dusk.

As a teen, possibly on your first overnight camping trip. Your first campfire under a starry sky.

As a mature adult, in one of the wildest places in the lower-48.

As a 60-something, perhaps being alone on the eastern 500,000 acres of September wilderness, unconnected to help should you unexpectedly need it.

Thinking differently about Glacier

Space Mountain and Cinderella Castle
Space Mountain and Cinderella Castle.

Thinking differently about Glacier in 2022.

Thinking differently is a lifelong habit learned at Disney called continuous improvement.

Classic, fundamental “start, stop, continue” evaluation.

Based especially on new data from last year’s hikes, as well as cumulative experience from all previous visits:

  • What routines should be started?
  • What routines should be stopped?
  • What routines should you continue?
