Healing

"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places".
Ernest Hemingway

After two days at Hiker Heaven, I was ready to rejoin the trail. Rested, healed and antsy for the trail. There is a fear of getting caught up in the vortex of community at Hiker Heaven. Soon, only the injured, unfocused and hungover remain. Living a deliberate life on the PCT, requires one to become, "strong at the broken places".

At 5pm, Legs and I rejoin the trail. While it is still hot, the freshness of our legs and minds, is no match for the temps. Our plan, night hike 26 miles to Casa de Luna, arriving about 3am.



In my mind the desert has two beautiful moments. When the sun rises and when the sun sets.












We fell short of our goal. Our energy and feet failing us at about 4 miles from our destination. At 130am, we cowboy camped on one of many switchbacks.

Sunday morning, we rolled into Casa de Luna. Waiting for us, waffles, ham, coffee and the traditional Hawaiian shirt😊.



And a tiny bit later, a nap .....




Heal at the broken places and be strong my friends. Those that have been around me for the last three years have seen a blue band on my wrist. The message on the band is becoming clearer to me.
"God is big enough"



As always, thanks for reading.

  2. Today was our first day back working out at the gym. It's just not the same without your smile and encouraging words. So let me repay you for all of your encouragement by say "Way to go!" You are seriously impressive. Stay safe and enjoy your time.

    Mental Health is about finding a balance between dealing with the difficulties in life and using the opportunities life presents for further development. Mental health is primary in helping create good things in our life, and is the vehicle that helps us work toward our hopes, dreams and aspirations. Mental health is far more than the absence of mental illness and has to do with many aspects of our lives including. The mental health issues may mean an increased risk of alcohol abuse, smoking and poor diet and physical fitness.
