Good morning. I took this photo at Pattison State Park yesterday afternoon. We drove up there as a family. The four of us.

Driving home. The kids sleeping in back. Annie looks in the rearview mirror and says to me, "They are my favorite human beings in the whole world."

There is something about getting away from the daily demands and spending time with water and the nonhuman world.

Something sublime maybe.

I notice more. My attention sharpens to the inner and the outer.

There's a lightness and a heaviness to it. Heavy in that it can't be this way all the time.

I used to feel the same way when my Grandpa and Grandma would take my mom, dad, sister and me camping as a kid. Why couldn't it be this way all the time I would wonder.

Fishing, cooking, playing games, and sleeping together as a family.

No wonder it felt right. We lived this way for hundreds of thousands of years. This experiment we're running, or being run on us (one never knows) is unsettling to say the least.

Well, that's enough meandering for now. Spitballing. My neighbor is going to help me change the oil and rotate the tires on my mail jeeps in his garage.

Thank you for good neighbors. 🙏

I hope you have a great day.
