No fire, no fireworks

Every morning at 6am the fire is restored.
At 5am, i am usually the only person already at work. By 6am, it’s just me and the opening shift bellhop/fire-starter.

No fire, no fireworks…

Awakening to birds chirping and dawn’s early light, i’m out of bed before 5am. 

Last year, the crackling fire often woke me. 

There’s been no 430-5am fire. 

Why?

The easy guess is money – let’s save some. Right?

Perhaps apathy. 

On graveyard shift no one’s watching, right?

There was a time when we only had Magic Kingdom fireworks during peak summer and holiday seasons. Otherwise, no fireworks. 

We were not able to place ourselves in our Guests shoes. 

Every Guest, no matter when they visit, deserves the Magic of fireworks. 

Every Lake McDonald Lodge Guest, no matter when they visit deserves a fire in the infamous lodge fireplace.

No?

A spiritually special day on the calendar

Avalanche Lake yesterday.

A spiritually special day on the calendar.

UP is a special movie in our Family.

Somewhat auto-biographical, except for the ending.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about spirituality

Lake McDonald Lodge lobby. No two lamp shades are the same. All hand-painted.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about spirituality:

  • Nature is God manifested in everything you see, as far as you can see. 
  • Be nice, and friendly, to people on the trail. 
  • What you do on the trail and what you do away from Glacier should match.

You’ll know when you finally know

Last night after dinner, from the Lake McDonald marina dock.

You’ll know when you finally know, you know?

What?

The meaning of life.

Son, enjoy your exploration.

Have some great anchors and continue to discover more.

Anchors like values, people, experiences, books, traditions, joy, gratitude, surrender, forgiveness…the list of good and decent things is long, and powerful.

All natural ingredients

A National Park, or nature in general, can be “Church”.

All natural ingredients.

  • Fresh air
  • Mountains
  • Lakes
  • Wildlife
  • Minimal human-made structures

The Church pews are rocks, logs, or the ground.

The sermon is whatever thoughts you have that aren’t easily available in “civilization”.
