No TV for a month

Lion King is the Cabin owner’s favorite Disney movie. Cheryl just so happened to bring these without knowing.

No TV for a month.

You know what i missed the most from not watching any TV?

Nothing.

Note: Wasn’t trying to escape anything. Didn’t see the days adding up. There’s a peace that settles in when i’m not preoccupied by “urgent” news.

Self-reflection

Couple of mornings ago.

Self-reflection is the only way to have a meaningful life.

Son, nature, exercise, and writing are the three most stimulating ways i know of to harvest the best self-feedback.

Try explaining it without words

Surreal beauty.
Exquisite.
Mt. Reynolds.
Small, almost hidden flower.
This flower is made up of dozens of small flowers.
Easy to walk by and not look closely. Nature has organized itself well. 

Fireweed and a “hidden” fly. 

Finished where we started.
Five hours and 1:18 PM. Done as the hottest part of the day begins.

Don’t explain your philosophy, embody it. – Epictetus

Do this every day for starters

Lake McDonald.
Early morning at the Apgar marina by the foot of Lake McDonald. 

Lake McDonald is low. 

In June the water is up to the second step.

Do this every day for starters. 

What?

Reflect on the stunning news that you are alive, your eyes opened and you can see. 

Reflect on what you learned yesterday, what you get to do today, and reflect on what you hope for tomorrow. 

Now, go on about your day filled with positivity.

Mental surplus

Up and over Logan Pass, continuing East to St Mary, North to Many Glacier and the trail head. Photo: Wild Goose Island as we passed by. 

Grinnell Glacier trailhead, almost 8:00 AM, roughly two hours after departing Cabin 20. 

The 5.3 miles is a guide. Instead of 10.6 miles round trip, we logged 12 miles. 

One mile into it. 

About two miles in. 

Approximately 3.5 miles farther up from here to reach Grinnell Glacier viewing area. 

Live in a mental surplus or live in a mental deficit?

Which way we live is based on our choices. 

Our choices are based on our beliefs. 

Our beliefs are birthed and nurtured by our habits and rituals. 

Driving the speed limit is a signal a person is living in surplus. You always leave 10 minutes earlier than it takes to get somewhere. And the travel time-budget is based on the posted speed, not the time it takes if you speed, and get all the lucky breaks. 

Son, when your thoughts have room to “arrive early” – without rushing – the depth and breadth of your thinking expands to consider things you never have time for when you’re in a hurry. 

Always choose surplus. People spend their entire lives in deficit, hoping someday to change. 

It never happens.
