"This is why you can't come on my school field trip,"

My son said to me with a tone of arrogance as I made him stand there for a photo.

Unconditional love with discipline.

The cause & the punishment, actions & their effects. Kicking the donkey or throwing the dog a treat. Time-out from positive reinforcement or talking with reason. Our struggles are not moments solved by classical conditioning.

We are currently emphasizing accountability & facing consequences for wrongdoings. But, this situation is different; it is about discomfort. He wanted to go backpacking & the challenge was in carrying his own weight.

"The impediment to action advances action.
What stands in the way becomes the way."
— Marcus Aurelius

Summer Days

As I reflect on our summer camping trip from last year, I'm filled with a sense of nostalgia & longing. The landscape enveloped us in a warm embrace & the lush forests were alive with the symphony of nature. The streams & brooks sparkled in the golden light & the tapestry of green blanketed the plateau. A Luna moth rested while bees danced along the gentle breeze.

In that moment, we were grateful to witness such grandeur. It was as if the whole world had come alive to celebrate the beauty that surrounded us.

Spring Break flashback

Reminiscing last year's Spring Break camping trip & feeling grateful for the memories. From peaceful moments around the campfire to the small stream, it was reliving the trip all over again.

Not the trip I planned.

Nevertheless, there were moments of joy in between negotiating when to go home. Following a random dog upstream, discovering carcasses & trekking through mud. I had hoped to get lost in those moments.

We drove here to backpack, but we returned home instead.

It was hard to drive back all the miles it took to get here. It was cold & you were not having a good time. Begging me to reconsider spending four days in the wilderness. Where did I go wrong? You love learning about the creation of earth & once upon a time hiked with your old man. In hopes to instill a love for the outdoors. But it may be too late. Perhaps a phase or blatant obsession for the internet.

I know I need to take a step away from everything now & then. This was our way to escape the fast-paced weekly routines. Or maybe my way of just never dealing with them.

Never forget this...

Out of all the good times, he'll still remember the bad ones. The moments of anger, of uncontrollable temper & unforgiving rage. I swear I will not raise my voice the next time, every single time.

I am not the most spiritual man. Nevertheless, I read a quote recently, paraphrased by Naval, that resonates with how anger feels to me.

"Anger is a hot coal you hold in your hand while waiting to throw it at somebody."

I don't want to be the one burned.

Rainy day at the Visitor Center

Helped a box turtle cross the road, before meeting with the Ranger on another encounter. Made a possum puppet. Lastly, a presentation on skins & skulls. Playground & hikes in between activities. Richard kept us on a tight schedule. His obsession with time may or may not become a problem. I digress, future productivity guru.

Thankful for all the moments

In particular, the time we chased the rainbow. We took some photos & then attempted running to the end.
