September 1st 2026, spirit

group of people in a national park lodge
The group celebrated the Patriarch’s 90th birthday. We randomly and comically engaged with them in an unplanned, boisterous, over-the-top silliness. It was Magically fun and funny, for everyone.

Back home from Glacier, a week now.

Have some powerfully reflective posts to create for posterity. Here’s this week’s lineup:

  1. What’s next?
  2. Here’s what i envisioned Glacier 2026 to be
  3. Here’s how Glacier 2026 played out
  4. How does Glacier’s 2026 farewell feel?
  5. What’s next for Glacier?
  6. Glacier 2026 highlights
  7. Glacier 2026 regrets (if any)

2. Here’s what i envisioned Glacier 2026 to be…

Simple…a ‘farewell, Glacier’.

A ‘see you later, Glacier’.

3. Here’s how Glacier 2026 played out…

Better than expected. And you know i expected excellence.

Honestly didn’t know what would actually play out. Bottomline, bullseye.

The western wildfire smoke and the rain made hiking uninviting. Because we didn’t hike much, we had stillness and reflection time that wasn’t planned.

A proverbial blessing in disguise.
