Busy squared

Took this photo yesterday and texted it to Cheryl. Requested two more bags. Didn’t know i’d be using the word devil and 6-6-6.

The devil doesn’t make us bad. The devil makes us busy.

Spiritual gymnastics

Facebook status update
Upper left, 2017 Facebook update. Used to love FB. Now, it makes me nervous. Plus, the commenting feature no longer serves my peace.

There are words to describe yesterday, but none seem sufficient.

If all we get today is what we were thankful for yesterday, will it be enough?

i consistently talk about Church “being every daily step”.

While deciding whether to keep or delete Facebook, i read many entries and smiled big on the one below.

“The daily pickup after school hug ritual has been happening since he was 3. Today it hit me, it’s been 13 years.”

Turns out it lasted 15 years. Never missed a day.

Gymnasts do their reps.

My reps were/are different, but they are done with the same intentionality and intensity.

Time on my spirit

Disney Institute team Photo, 2007
2005 photo. Disney Institute Facilitation Team. Inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom before the daily opening. Also before Expedition Everest’s official grand opening.

The time to serve is now.

What?

Why?

How?

When your every step is ‘church’, you can serve all day. Every day.

In the giving you receive.

Give like you mean it.

Receive like you are starving, and insanely grateful.

Summer solstice 2025, spirit

National Park Lodge lobby
East Glacier, the town (not the region) is big enough to have a National Park Lodge operating May-September.

Solstices, among other things, are a measure of total daylight hours.

Sunlight is a growth hormone for living things.

Daylight reminds me of the sky.

The sky reminds me of clouds.

Clouds remind me of sky-watching.

In Glacier, you can’t help but sky watch.

Since our return to prepare for, ride out, and then clean up after Hurricane Milton, i neglected sky-watching.

Began fixing that yesterday and this morning.

Old it never gets

9-second video: Surprise ending.
8-second video: You know what never gets old.
Disney ticket
To walk or bicycle here is such a spirited privilege. Never gets old.

Time and space.

Invented?

Real?

Albert Einstein weighs in here.

Update March 21 (the day this published)…adding Einstein statement here in case the link above ever fails. Why? Because it’s easy. Not sure why i didn’t add it when this post was written seven months ago. Here’s Albert…

“I didn’t arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”

“Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world.”

“Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.”

“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”

“A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.”
“When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.”

(end Einstein’s riff)
