2020 flashback

15-second 2020 video: As the camera pans you immediately see Pollock Mountain, Mt Siyeh, and Piegan Mountain.
5-second 2020 video: Acknowledged the news of Covid-induced, 30,000 Cast Member layoff. Had no idea what to say, so i kept it simple and gut-level.

These two videos remind me of the September 30, 2020 Oberlin (8,200′) summit.

In the moment, it felt scarier than the close (15′?) Grizzly Bear encounter at Granite Park – the one where i had to turn my back on the Grizzly and continued walking.

A rare – and a first – sunset summit.

Just a quick jaunt up and back. Shoot a couple client videos from the summit. Then boogie on down to the car.

Without explanation, i got lost on the summit and couldn’t find my way down.

Have written about it before and will spare a rehash now.

What’s noteworthy in this post is the spectrum of emotions captured on these two videos. And, the emotions never captured on video that evening.

Duplicate Update: Starting tomorrow all five blogs become an “unthemed-canvas” of sorts. The normal mind-body-spirit-work-home theme goes on hiatus until this “couple-week project” concludes.

Seasonal goodbyes

24-second 2020 video: Saying goodbye to ‘friends’ at the Piegan-Pollock saddle.

Each Glacier visit since 2013 has been marked by an ever-increasing reality that eventually, and without warning, that Glacier trip will be my last.

Being mindful and present to know this empowers me to make the most of each and every day there.

In a perfect (excellent) world, this happens 365 days a year, no matter where i am or who i’m with.

Most important of the 19 blueprints

10-second 2020 video: Prioritize your priorities. This video prioritizes the first of 19 organizational vibrancy blueprints.

Classic cliche: If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.

My blindspot finally revealed

A riff about the two sentences that changed my Disney trajectory.

Piegan’s cairn

18-second 2020 video: Piegan’s cairn…a delightful look into the Many Glacier valley.
Disney Baby Yoda toy on mountain top
Mt Siyeh. And Grogu.

Want to mention the Piegan summit cost me a pair of eye-glasses.

Placed them in my vest pocket while shooting a video. Forgot about it and was laying on my belly to get a Disney character (Grogu) photo and crushed the glasses.

From that moment on, always carry spare eye-glasses.

Note: The blessing is being able to see distance. The other blessing is i didn’t need to read a map or compass to descend.
