How blind?

Mountain lake
Noticed these St Mary Lake ”arrows” for the first time last week. Dear Universe, please point me in the right direction.

How blind am i?

Dear Heavenly Father, even if it hurts, please reveal all my blind spots.

They’re called blind spots for a reason.

We all have them.

i’d like to identify and eliminate/alleviate all of them.

Anger riff

While researching a Buddha quote, found this:

“The reason for forgiveness in Buddhism seems to be mostly connected with the destructive effect that anger has, and the bad effect it has on us.

The famous Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosa pointed out very eloquently how our anger often hurts us more than the person we’re angry with. They may not even be aware of our anger!”

Tax Day, 2000

8-second video: Wrote last year about this exact experience and what it taught me about Grizzly Bear and human interaction. To witness it laid the foundation for a once-in-a-lifetime experience a few days later.

One of the first times intentionally using a specific date – to help remember the “anniversary” date – was April 15, 2000.

Tax Day 2000.

There’s a penalty if you don’t do the work by April 15.

There’s a penalty if you don’t do the work to get and stay healthy.

In 1999, was disgusted (devastated?) at how far apart my intentions to live a healthy life were compared to my actual behaviors to live a healthy life.

Rationalized it took me years to get so slothful that i could reverse engineer a slow and steady comeback. Not in one or two years, but over the course of five-10 years.

Thus began running from our mailbox to our next neighbor’s mailbox. Once a day for a week. Second week, two mailboxes a day for a week. Third week, three mailboxes a day. Etc.

Tax Day and one-mailbox-a-day.

It worked.

The art of letting go

The art of letting go.

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes.

Holding onto things we shouldn’t is a learned behavior.

You can also unlearn this behavior.

Never stop learning to unlearn.

And in your learning to unlearn, you are teaching others a better behavior to learn – saving them some unlearning later in life.
