a Canadian icon is gone....

I am saddened by the passing of Farley Mowat ….Never Cry Wolf was a Milestone in my life and possibly stirred my interest in the outdoors... think I need to re-read it again

Celebrated author Farley Mowat dead at 92

impoverished

when the global economy is based on rapidly dwindling supplies of finite resources.....

wealth is short lived and based on future improvishment...

Something is busted

I look at the world I've made and continue to make. The ideas I find inspiring and the life I wound up leading are nowhere close....

 

I lament that gap and yearn for some deeper connection.... something that will let me feel more alive  yet I don’t do anything about it. 

 

Instead I hustle every day to further a system I know is fundamentally broken. 

 

......What the hell has happened to me?  

Edward Abbey Quote

I am not an atheist but an earthiest.

all in a good days work

Up at 5:00 to cheer on Canada in the Gold Medal game.

Shovel the sidewalks

Put gas in my daughters cars…

The lay lamanet flooring in the down stairs bathroom…

Not to shabby for a Sunday…

Peace my friend, travel well on your journey today…

Mountains in Motion: The Canadian Rockies [HD]

Just have to post the link to Mountains in motion once again.

It is an amazing video and completely captures how incredible the mountains are and my fascination with them... and why It am so at peace when I am in the mountains...

New Years resolutions...

I have no resolutions for the coming year. Instead, I merely have a promise to myself – to continue to live each day like I mean it, like I recognize that all I have is a succession of moments and that I want to spend those moments loving myself, nurturing myself, honoring myself in order that I can do work that nurtures and honors others. 

Focusing on that means 2014 is already a huge success and I wish the same for all of you. All we have are moments. So live them as though not a one can be wasted, inhabit them, fill them with the light of your best good intention, honor them with your full presence, find the joy, the calm, the assuredness that allows the hours and the days to take care of themselves. 

If we can do that, we will have lived and this New Year looming will be filled with blessings and light. 

Peace friends, travel well on your journey today.... and through the year....
