Good Friday Morning!
And just like that, it’s August. It has been one heck of a summer, without a lot of time for introspection. Running around like that, it can be easy to lose your way - you lose track of what you are working toward, what makes you happy, what you want for your life, consumed in trying to just “make this thing go” - whatever the “thing” that day is.
I’m working toward helping my daughter be a empathetic, confident young woman, who believes in her ability to learn and do anything she wants. I’m working toward being present in my own life, making conscious decisions on spending time with people I love, and engaged in things I enjoy and care about. I’m working toward being a good husband, who spends time and is engaged in my marriage.
These things are easy to say, hard to do, and easy to lose track of - like walking around in dense woods and trying to trace the shortest path somewhere.
What does all this have to do with today’s photo? Well, metaphorically, “getting up so you can see the lay of the land” is something we all need to do - and that’s what these towers were all about. Practically, this was exactly what I’m talking about - taking time with my wife and a great friend, and going out in the dark and having a great experience. Time spent with people I love, engaged in things I enjoy and care about.
And maybe, if I keep working, if I climb high enough, I can find myself.
