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

GNP Day 8, Spring 2024

Community welcome sign
New sign. Seems close to perfect to me.
32-second video: Pretty good day, again.

Life, like mountain weather, is contingent on factors beyond control.

dad

No place like home and we are waiting to board a plane to go there.

Yesterday was perfect here. So we are gonna go for two in a row.

You are as old as your thoughts and as old as you feel, combined.

Our thoughts can become hardened and stiff.

Our bodies can become softened and achy.

Intentionally over-focus (yesterday’s theme) on things you under-focus on or ignore.

You know, your thoughts, attitude, and mindset.

As well as your movement, nutrition, and rest.

Note: And there’s the work and home (and spirit) choices too.

GNP Day 6, Spring 2024

Couple at mountain lake
Somewhere near 10am.

Luck favors the intentional.

dad

Days ago the Camp Store manager mentioned the Lodge was opening Friday.

The camp store two days ago was the only open operation. We visited before our hike to McDonald Falls.

Chris, the manager, and i met a few years ago at Rising Sun.

i remembered him and he remembered me.

We had a nice conversation.

Told him we know Alan and Ben at front desk. That’s when he shared today’s opening date.

Note: Being dialed into the various Lodge opening dates is not on my radar. Now it is.
