Back to Glacier, body

Tradition.
34-second video: Avalanche Lake. Luckily the rain was light and brief.
Returned from Avalanche Lake hike to witness this from the Lodge’s parking lot while in our rental van.

Have had the privilege to bicycle the 15 miles one-way from Avalanche Creek to Logan Pass. More than once. And also once with Chapin. Never with Cheryl. Until this trip. Bicycling when Sun Road is closed is Magical. No vehicular traffic is allowed past Avalanche Creek’s sizable parking areas. Why? Snow. Going-to-the-Sun Road and Logan Pass don’t open to vehicular traffic until mid-June to as late as mid-July.

The Lodge’s double front lobby doors are generally open.

Even when not directly in the entrance they are not far.

Peaceful sleep even at a hotel’s entrance.

They have found their comfort zone.

Hoping today’s photos are the catalyst for the first of many Summer Glacier posts.

L-R: me, Goldy, Hunter: Goldy and Hunter are ‘Rez dogs’. Their owners live near the Lodge. The dogs hang out at the Lodge all Summer. The 1.5 million acre Blackfeet Nation surrounds the Lodge and borders the Park.

Simple things are timeless.

Rest.

Reflection.

Restoration.

The photo: Late afternoon. Warm. Calm. Peaceful. Goldy and Hunter were napping. So i joined them. Cheryl was watching a wedding on the Lodge’s backside (the side facing the Park’s mountains).

mountain lake
No shortage of water here. It’s glacier water, but it’s still water.

Coaches are asked to do a second thing that is actually a separate job.

Coaches show how to do things and why all things interconnecting is critical for peak results.

That space is called teaching.

However, what clients also want from the teacher is motivation.

This is the paradox.

Learning, and then knowing, is opposite from deeply wanting to apply new learning and knowledge.

And there’s the rub.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

A great coach teaches a horse to find water on its own.

Yet we’re still left with this: The horse might not drink when we lead it to water. The horse might not drink after it finds water on its own.

Conundrum.

My goal with my chronic habits is to:

  • Think clearly
  • Sleep peacefully
  • Move slowly
  • Live quietly
  • Shine light
