Just one photo, spirit

Planned freedom, spirit

mountains and lake
The upper-right glow is freedom shining down on the spiritual seeds you sowed.

Planning spiritual freedom requires the same fundamental conditions any great ‘classroom’ offers.

Freedom to…

  1. Freedom to question
  2. Freedom to participate
  3. Freedom to fail
  4. Freedom to opt out
  5. Freedom to excel

All planned freedoms are planned to provide the student with remarkable opportunities.

The catch is that the opportunities are self-directed.

This is how you learn to fish.

You learn by doing, not by being fed without any say.

Teach hope, spirit

mountain lake
We often stay for extended periods less than a mile from here. This photo was taken shortly after sunrise.

Teach hope spiritually…

“Hope for what?”, you may ask.

Hope for peace and contentment.

Teach hope simply by exuding hopefulness.

Is there a catch to this?

Yes.

What then?

You must exude this – demonstrate this – for a lifetime. Nothing less.

Harvest hope, spirit

Reflecting on 2025:

1. What are you most happy about completing?

2. What was the smartest decision you made?

3. What one word best sums up your 2025 experience?

4. What was the greatest lesson you learned?

5. What is your biggest piece of unfinished business?

6. Who were three people that had the greatest impact on you? (Have you thanked them?)

7. What was the biggest risk you took?

8. What did you shed to improve your life?

Compounded hope, spirit

mountains
Same spot as earlier two photos in previous blog (lane8.org). Same day. Same minute.

My spiritually compounded hope (goal) is to die with peace and contentment.

Peace with who i am.

Content with what i have.

Note: Peace and contentment assumes that everyone i love knows where they stand with me. And the two people that matter most are obvious. It’s not that the others aren’t important, it’s just that no one can hold a candle to Cheryl and Chapin.
