It takes two days to get here by car, but what a beautiful road trip! We drove through Southeast Colorado yesterday taking the back roads to our destination in Gunnison. Nothing other than striking scenery, but I took some time to reflect upon how a landscape mirrors different aspects of our humanity. When we left Amarillo, Texas yesterday morning, I wondered how the landscape of a dry desert, long vistas, and skyscapes shape the people that live there now, and in the past. When you look out upon the landscape where sky meets land, you realize that the land you occupy encompasses a tiny sliceRead More →

The best thing my parents gave me was their imperfection. Sometimes, the gifts that your parents’ give you aren’t what they did right, but what they struggled with, and how they overcame it– or didn’t. This is the time of the year that I review my mother’s life, and what gifts she left me since she died 4 years ago. My mother was a very smart woman. She could devour books and articles, and she understood so much about so many things. But she had a problem in applying what she learned about, and believed implicitly, to her own life. This is a problem thatRead More →

What makes a habit worth keeping? Right now, the habit of writing a post everyday brings me into better alignment with my life. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I open up my laptop and stare at the blank screen. Then I recall the day before. What stood out? What do I feel is shareable? What do I need to express so it doesn’t fester inside of me? I judge habits all of the time. They aren’t just things we do unthinking. They’re patterns that can shape how we feel and who we’ll eventually become. If you choose to format loops toRead More →

Quote Box Wisdom My stepfather has a handmade wooden box that is filled with quotes he’s collected during his life written on index cards. I just pulled one out and this is the gem I received: “Whenever he thought about it, he felt terrible. And so, at last, he came to a fateful decision. He decided not to think about it.” Life 101 Oh my. Can I relate to this one. Sometimes, choosing not to think about something is the way to go. When you cut yourself, it’s not wise to start poking on it before a scab forms. It’s going to delay healing andRead More →

Travel days are often filled with delays. Yet, they also offer glimmers of humanity while you sit around waiting. Here are some of mine from yesterday. My first travel day was devoid of much conversation, as I wrote about in the last post. But man, things changed on the second day. Around noon, I went downstairs for a cup of coffee at the hotel I stayed in before the shuttle arrived to pick me up to take me to the airport. I struck up a conversation with the manager, who was sitting next to me. He was a very large man, and he shared thatRead More →
