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?

Great Plains meet Great Mountains

The Great Plains meet The Great Mountains.

We are certain at an Ocean beach that we are in the place where two distinct entities (land and water) meet.

The great, profound boundary is crystal clear.

The video above showcases another crystal clear boundary. i filmed this from the Western-most edge of The Great Plains. And we clearly see the irrefutable rising of the Great Rocky Mountains. In this case, the Northern US Rockies, specifically known as Glacier National Park.

Glacier’s Rockies march to the Canadian border. Canada then takes the Rockies back to the US in Alaska.

By the way

T-shirt design. Prophetically true.

By the way…

Some say, ”The best revenge is none. Heal, move on and be happy – don’t become like those who hurt you.”

Writing is healing.

Writing frees you from primal revenge-desire.

Writing also lets your aggressors realize they’ve only made you stronger.

Then you realize being stronger makes you happier.

Gratitude is what gets stronger in you.

It’s impossible to be grateful and unhappy simultaneously.

More to the Glacier love

mountains
Mt Wilbur. Below is a short 2019 video from Swiftcurrent Motor Inn parking lot….

More to the Glacier love than meets the eye.

That Summer-of-1973 morning in the Swiftcurrent Valley at sunrise…that was the catalyst.

What sealed the deal was what happened the next 40 years to get to the second coming in 2013.
