Hurry, wait, or both

mountain lake
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.

What if your accusers say you think too deeply, you care too much, you work too hard, you reach too high? Will their evidence convict you?
