Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?
Moraine Lake Panorama 2009 A — Banff National Park, Alberta
Tourist time starts around 10 AM. Sunrise on the peaks begins a bit earlier. It is a question of what matters most.
Knowing what matters to us is a key piece of knowing, reflecting our original nature.
We don't know why the important things are important, we just live to serve them.
Dogs, cats, horses and people matter a lot to a lot of people, and not so much to others, reflecting the original nature of both groups.
Giving them a sense of where they belong, and where they have no business being. Essential knowing. Where our place is, and where it isn't. What we are about-- what we are to be about. And not about.
We have to honor the lines defining, expressing, doing, being who we are, and are capable of being.
That is the tragedy. That we do not know and do not bother with knowing who we are and are capable of being.
Largely because we have the wrong people in or life. People who do not know or care who they are.
Who have/had neither the time nor the inclination to sit in the emptiness/stillness/silence long enough, often enough, to listen/see/know/understand required to discover and understand who they are and not.
I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing.
I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.

Great image…I am so glad you managed to go earlier, before the start of the tourist time π
