  • Judgement

    We as people only require a quick little glimpse in order to form a radical judgment about someone, something or a situation. Yet such judgment can be threatening for ourselves personally, and ultimately culture as a whole. For such judgement is not accurate as it doesn’t tell the entire story. It never does and never will. Notorious for problem solvers, we will attempt to seek a solution with any amount of information we may have. So, the more information the better. The less reaction, the better. It seems we’ve become expect to react grandly to whatever may be occurring; yet that only heightens and exasperates needlessly. More solutions can equal more problems. There are no absolute answers, no be all-end all.

    I hate that I would judge people just going about their business. Maybe it’s natural human instinct, or perhaps is some type of self-dissatisfaction deep inside. It’s difficult to know where certain inhibitions become formulated. They’re just another human making their honest effort to get through this life. It’s certainly not easy, we can all do better and judge less. Let it be as it is, bring peace to yourself by doing so. And to not interrupt a process off discovery.

    Lately I really simply aim to share my experience, and work on leading by example rather than vocalizing what all that I may perceive to be not right. I catch myself making these mistakes and can only reflect and do better next time. Sure there are certain instances where mistakes are necessary there are always exceptions.

    And lastly… I’d rather be judged, than to be the one who is doing the judging.

  • Colorado Wilderness (’16 Road Trip Pt.2)

    Colorado Wilderness (’16 Road Trip Pt.2)

    From Ontario, I took a two day pitstop in Michigan filled with home-cooked meals, then rode through smooth Iowan mountain biking trails at Sunderbruch Park, where I was invited to Burning Man. By night I endured Nebraskan thunderstorms and a Missouri river tornado from the discomfort of my driver seat and concrete shelter (camp bathroom). I visited the Omaha Zoo in the morning for a road trip refresh. I stuck to my route and stopped for a Runza, unfortunately missing the sandhills. Eventually I made it to Denver where I caught up with family and friends. Nice to be back in civilization. I then tested my Subaru’s limits up and over Rabbit Ears Pass, finally arriving in Steamboat Springs. The adventure was here.

    a place to feel at home

  • Curves of Life

    Curves of Life

    This series of photos is from a drive to Enosburg with a friend. (Thanks again for driving, Emerson!) I ramble about curves along with the photos.  Some curves may be harder to see, but I promise they are there!

     

    *I put the photos in order of time taken, so the words don’t really go along with the photographs, fyi!

    There’s something about curves that is an eye pleaser. …The way they follow a form in a subtle or abrupt manner.

    I think anyone can agree that they can give a friendly presence to any area.

    (The main reason the words don’t go along is below. The undersides of bridges are really never friendly… lol)

    In that sense, I believe it’s important to notice these somehow satisfying elements of nature and the man-made world.

    Just think about soda bottles, your phone, modern cars, a spoon, a winding road, floating ribbons… I could go on folks.IMG_9870IMG_9871

     

    Let alone the fact that individuals from many wakes of time formed an idea in their head and it came to be a physical object deserves some credit!

    Little moments of appreciation for really anything in daily life can lift your mood and positively make daily life a tiny bit more interesting!

    Let me know what you think… should I do more like this? Anyway, thanks for viewing!
