No Place Like Home Trails

Posted in general by Nate

I could run these trails every day and never get tired of them. Actually, I have done just that some weeks.

Life has as many twists and turns and ups and downs as these paths, and the way we get through one is likely the way we get through the other.

New developments mandate a change in course. All professional matters beyond my control, of course. I can only control my approach and my perceptions of it all, and generally that will dictate what kind of shape I’ll be in at the other end.

There are times when you feel like you’re moving on momentum alone, almost like the wind is carrying you. Other times you feel like crawling or just laying down.

Most important is to take it all as parts of a complex process, and understand that we need lows to give the highs meaning.

And if, in the end, we can look back and say “God damn, what a ride” – we’ve probably done alright.
