Every three or four days would replenish provisions from the Columbia Falls grocery store, Smith’s. Photo below from nearly a year ago…and the inspiration for today’s posts.

Hurry, wait, or both

Hidden Lake is stunning. First visit to the actual shore took 47 years. Now, i look forward to making it a yearly tradition.

Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.

The trail i’m on is not a trail.

Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.

Unwelcome clouds

mountains in the clouds
Clouds impair visibility, add cold moisture, and make way-finding challenging, even dangerous. Clouds can “ruin” your plans. Clouds can open new doors, too.

Courage is baked into every virtue. Confidence is baked into courage. Courage and confidence don’t eliminate fear, they simply coach you to act even when afraid or unsure.
