I like this image not just because
the bear is cute but because it's an
image that is open to abuse from
over-exaggeration from enviro-gps.

e.g. like gore's bad science on
the polar bear. (the movie has good stuff in it.)

my first 30 years were predominantly instinctive and reactive
whereas the next 30 are attempting to be proactive and learned.

its funny but at the moment i regard
ohio as a complete success
its a personal triumph
not in some CBT bullshit kinda way

as i age near 40
my thoughts on challenge
(e.g. solo climbing,)
have changed somewhat.

if i came off the mountain
or climb without 'success'
then i would have regarded it all as a complete failure.
But now, with time and experience
i can see that the act itself, of moving,
trying, being in the moment, pushing so much
is in itself a celebration of life and existence
away from the hum-drum mediocrity of the box.

in other words its all success as we
live instead of merely existing.

Coming to north America is always a fascinating experience. It's quite novel to juxta pose
the culture when you come from a similar yet different western culture. the one thing that really stands out is the social conditioning for popular consumption. There is a massive shift in the mental attitude towards the environment and perception of materiality. Sadly unless there is a paradigm shift in the social awareness then the world , our children's lives and it's ultimate future are doomed. At the moment I am trying to observe ways in which this can happen. It seems like Rebirth it's going to have to be a rude awakening.
