Four days until Glacier, mind

National Park WebCam screenshot of the mountain
My favorite summit. The summit i’ve done the most times. The summit that has now become the first-summit tradition each summer. That snow pack in the middle. Hope it’s smaller by the weekend.

First, it’s getting real.

Days away.

Second…

Had a thought yesterday that if i blogged every day for two more years i would double the existing world-record for the most blog post by a single author.

Note: Not interested in a world record. Why? Because it doesn’t matter and no one will know, let alone care. And, it’s not like i’m gonna put it on my résumé for my next job interview. lol

Slow and fast

Disney Keynote speaker Jeff Noel at National Park
Four years ago, 2020. Remember Covid-19?

Can recall 10 months ago, after two emergency retina-repair surgeries that next Summer (2024, now), that it would take forever to return to Glacier.

Now, departure is a week away and i cannot believe how the time has arrived “so quickly’.

Seems that slow and fast are siblings.

Glacier panic

Hoping to get Cheryl up here to this exact spot in a few weeks. Photo: 2017?

Started the morning triple checking my calendar and the lodging website. What’s on my calendar and what’s on the website should match.

Guess what?

They don’t.

Panic attack.

Rocky Mountain High

Mountains and a lake
One of my favorite vacation photos. Wasn’t even trying to take an amazing photo. We were just sitting on our deck. Photo: The Rocky Mountains about 20-30 miles south of the Canadian border.

When i hear John Denver sing “Rocky Mountain High”, i think of Colorado.

But when not listening to John Denver, i think of the Continental Divide running through Glacier, splitting the east side and the west side. By the way, Glacier National Park is about 1,000,000 acres.

So magnificent.

Super cool to awake in our own bed yesterday.

The more places you see, the more similarities between humans you see.

And, the more places you see, the more differences between humans you see.

Here’s the insight (wisdom) i’ve gained…

i’ve learned our similarities, which appear to me as universal, are foundationally important.

i’ve also learned our differences are overwhelmingly unimportant.

.think .differently
