The wild helps me at home

broken car interior door handle
Interior driver’s seat car door handle broke a few days ago. Figured out how to still make it work. Had i not, would have had to craw across the center console and exit from the front passenger door. Or, craw out the driver’s seat window.

Passenger side. This is what the broken door handle used to look like.
26-second video: Only life’s essentials. But the million-dollar question is, “What should i pack?” The wilderness classroom teaches willing students what is essential and what is not. A car that runs is essential. A new car is not. Have never owned a new car. The car door handle that broke is 35 years old.

The wild helps me at home.

Big time (btw).

How? Why?

How? Well, the wild is the wild. You can’t go into the wild with much. Why? Because all you have access to is whatever fits in your pack. The size of the pack you’re willing to carry is the bottomline.

Why? Well, the wild teaches me a cosmic truth. Ensure you are fully prepared before you pack your pack (life) with non-essentials.

The Universe’s performance

6-second video: Curtains and window blinds hide much of the Universe’s performance. For a handful of years, we have lived without them.

The Universe’s performance is remarkably reliable.

You can count on a daily ‘performance’.

Every day.

All day.

Rain or shine.

Night or day.

It’s always happening.

Get your “Annual Passes” while they last.

Come to the surface of yourself

Upper center, a beautiful Hawk in our backyard tree. What you can’t see is the limp squirrel hanging from its talon.
The Hawk dropped the squirrel. Went in for a closer inspection. Spend enough time in nature and it’s crystal clear, nature is beautiful. Nature is also brutal. Most of us don’t want to think about it. At all.
Predators generally attack their prey’s throat as the easiest and quickest way to subdue the prey. While this can be viewed as a disturbing photo, think about how brutal a lifetime of slow and steady, spiritual (or physical and mental) neglect is. Yet we don’t bat an eye at how disturbing that is.

Come right to the surface of yourself.

What?

When you publicly demonstrate your deepest gratitude, we see the real core, not the facade.

Forests (video)

Glacier National Park, September 27, 2019.

Take a deep breath, exhale.

Repeat with another deep breath.

And exhale.

If you’d like, click on the 5-minute video and focus on your breathing and how beautiful nature is and how often you visit and appreciate nature.
