To each their own, spirit

Three Finnish ski jumps adjacent to each other
Finland, 2009. We ain’t in Kansas anymore.

Feel what you want to feel. Worship or don’t worship.

To each their own. Right?

Don’t worry about what others think about your spiritual habits.

They don’t worry about your hope, your faith, or your love.

Why would they?

What a revelation.

Who knew?

Now i do.

One of my late-in-life revelations.

It’s easy to wonder what my life would have been like in my 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s had i not worried about what others thought of my habits.

But these days, gratefully, i surrender to the past. Grateful for moving on and never looking back, in the last decade or so.

Standing on a thin place. Pollock Mountain’s summit, looking at Mt Siyeh, center.

Let people serve the way they want to serve.

Serve as much or as little as suits you.

Pray as much or as little as suits you.

Hope as much or as little as suits you.

Love as much or as little as suits you.

Enjoy as much or as little peace and contentment as suits you.

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.

Change what you see, spirit

mountains
Summer 2024, descending into the Flathead Valley.

You know the drill because you’re smart.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Change your desire to serve, change what you see.

The need to grow, spirit

Person rock climbing
Never thought i would ever navigate the seven-story Great Cleft. To try to articulate how my spirit soared…probably impossible.

Adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it.

As i rebound from my historic slowdown, i am moving slow, but steady. One day at a time.

Physical decline humbles my spirit.

A humble spirit always motivates me.

When my spirit grows, it fertilizes my physical resolve to move, fuel, and rest.

When my body grows, it fertilizes my spiritual resolve to dwell in peace and contentment.

Growth begets growth.

Patience begets patience.
