Day 11 CCL, home

Apple Watch fitness app at trailhead sign — 4.5 hours to cover nearly 10 miles. Because of the windchill and lack of warming sun, we stayed at the Pass for only 10 minutes.

honeymoon couple at trailhead sign — We will be back another day to return to Piegan Pass. The fact we couldn’t find a weather-protected lunch spot didn’t dampen our spirit.

21-second video: On our descent. What’s it like hiking in Glacier?

At home with our priorities, what heights are possible?

Day 10 CCL, home

Water carved rock from a mountain Creek — Stunning what a soft tool like water can do to a hard tool like rock.

11-second video: Our cabin is just beyond the playground.

What lifestyle does your art promote?

And does that lifestyle, in turn, promote your art?

Day 9 CCL, home

creek water-carved mountain rock — Earlier this Summer a woman presumably slipped on a wet rock and fell into Avalance Creek. She did not survive. It took weeks before her body was found. Praying her friends, family, and the Park employees who found her are doing better than expected.

honeymoon couple next to creek water-carved mountain rock — We’re smiling because when we took the photo, we were not thinking about the earlier tragedy.

What do you dream of?

Why?

What are you doing about it?

Why?

Satisfied?

Day 8 CCL, home

Sunset climbs up mountains. It took me over five decades before i stumbled on this.

RV park bathhouse at sunset — As the sun goes down, the distant mountain shadows go up.

6-second video: ‘Home Sweet Home’. An RV Park is our location, but we do not own, nor rent, an RV. We our in an adjoining cabin circle.

Change the world?

No.

Seriously, you (we, me) are not gonna do it, no matter how romantic it sounds.

Look in the mirror of your soul.

.think .differently

Then why is “change the world” such a popular and inspiring mantra?

Simple.

Herd mentality.

What if you (we, me) did another look in the mirror and changed yourself (ourselves, myself) to make a simple change in vernacular.

Even then, it’s still an ‘impossible’ statement.

But listen how this sounds…

Change your world.

Change your world vs change the world.

You (we, me) change the world by changing our world.

Day 7 CCL, home

Mountain saloon and cafe — Home Ranch Bottoms is being revitalized. This is our first stop inside. Driven past it a bunch of times going to and from Polebridge.

Newspaper — Home Ranch Bottoms. What does that even mean? Seriously.

Newspaper article — Starting to make sense now. Right?

10-second video: Home Ranch Bottoms stage.

Without a person’s or place’s history there’s no context.

No context is dangerous.

Kinda like thinking customer satisfaction is not dangerous.

i did a TEDx Talk about why going the extra mile is a flawed concept and what to do instead.

So much context for any TED speaker (or any person). Most have no idea the history the speaker (or person) brings to the stage (life).

Insight/BFO (blinding fact of the obvious): Most do not care. This is a fact. It’s easy to live with and accept. It’s also easy to ignore and or forget. However, context is like adding color, or sound, or touch (As if you were there) to a black and white photo.
