Australia Day 22, spirit

Fall mountain foliage
Not all Autumns are the same. This one was supernatural.

i want and need peace and contentment as much as my next breath.

Not until you are fed up with your spiritual history and your spiritual present will you be ready to burn the ships and move forward spiritually, never looking back.

Colorful Wall painting
Looks like a Kangaroo.
11-second video: While exiting the beach through the dune’s walkway, my all-time favorite ‘jungle’ sound.
Community park
In looking for a water fountain in this Community Park i stumbled on a Rainbow Lorikeet.
Google bird description
Common wildlife.
12-second video: It didn’t escape from a Pet Shop. Local wildlife.

Australia’s Sunshine Coast reminds me of Central Florida (home).

We pivoted quickly after arriving to Australia nearly three weeks ago.

The pivot was easy and simple.

Instead of trying to travel around the Country, we decided to stay local.

Why?

Seeing the sights was not what drove us here.

Mountains
Lake McDonald from above the clouds. Gorgeous.
frozen lake with low clouds
Lake McDonald, same moment, below the clouds, looking fairly uninviting.
32-second video: We started the call at 3:15pm Eastern Time (6:15am my time in Birtinya, Queensland).

Be an artist in your own spirit.

Aging should bestow wisdom.

But only if you over-focus on aging.

Over-focusing on spiritual aging means you are intentional where others are less intention, or completely ignorant, on pursuing spiritual vibrancy.

Spiritually, we reap what we sow.

Australia Day 19, spirit

Two elementary school student photos
If this is my sister’s 1st grade photo, this is my 5th grade photo. Two years after these photos, i made the Spring Grove Area Junior High School Track & Field varsity team.

i serve others through my roles as husband, father, and teacher. Running brings those roles to life.

dad

To teach is to learn twice.

To serve is to honor the gift of life.

To run is to honor the Universe’s ability to sustain humans.

Running is how we caught food.

Running is how we escaped being food.

Australia Day 18, spirit

Change what you see. You can observe a lot by watching.

Find a million ways to sustain and improve your childlike wonder, hope, and love.

dad

Whatever you believe in, may it be enough to give you peace when it’s your time to go.
