Sleep deprivation quickly takes its toll

Glacier Park Cedar forest
Death, birth, and growth.

 

Truth be told, a writer’s retreat opens the flood gates for creative ideas.

The down side is this can be overwhelming.

Why?

The spiritual bandwidth required to process beauty, solitude, and a multitude of ideas starves us of several hours of sleep each day.

Sleep deprivation quickly takes its toll – did i mention being overwhelmed?

Make sense?

Can you imagine the spiritual power you can harness

Back through Denver on the way home.

 

Can you imagine the spiritual power you can harness if you chose to make hard decisions, to not procrastinate, and to make a habit of confronting difficult decisions?

When does the instinct kick in?

Unique bug houses
Cheryl spotted this one.

 

Lake McDonald
The bug was right on the water’s edge.

 

Imagine what it takes for a bug to build a stone house.

Had Cheryl not spent an hour-plus playing with the rocks, she’d had never seen the slow moving insect.

Who trains the small bugs to build like that?

When does the instinct kick in?

How effective is it to survival and reproduction?

What is religion and is it the same thing as spirituality?

What is religion and is it the same thing as spirituality?

Religious rituals were designed (and improved) to pass important messages down from generation to generation.

In a busy world – and it’s always been a busy world – we need humble transitions from fast to slow.

Without slow, we miss much of what we are passing.

In a car or at a dinner table.

Make sense?

That’s why we always say Grace before eating dinner.

Have you noticed the nuance as our day’s pace changes?

White water rafting can be a spiritual experience

A break from writing.

 

Glacier Raft Company
Much of the trip was far too calm.

 

White water rafting can be a spiritual experience when you’ve never done it before.

Why?

The legal form you sign makes death feel possible.

However, in early August, the snow melt is down to a trickle and the class 3 and class 4 waves are reduced to class 2 at best.

i was more afraid of the cold water.

It was fine.

Do you know what you gain when you do something you didn’t want to do?
