Right after I watched this video, my oldest son called me on his way home from work and told me about his first ice climbing trip of the season. I shared the lesson. Your humbleness to tell is appreciated.

Sheds some light onto how fragile we are as humans… the untying of a rope is all it takes. Even when we think everything is ok, it helps having those around us to keep us accountable… keep us tied in.

Overriding the distractions is an essential aspect of survival, IMO

Thank you. At this point, with eyes, ears and heart opened, I can finally hear and understand words like these. 🙏🏻

Your journey into reflection and reconciliation has been both nerve wracking and uplifting to follow. It’s a path I’m stumbling myself as self medication through exhaustion becomes an increasingly diluted drug. However the way you handle and communicate the aging of the scabbard while the knife inside clearly remains obsidian sharp is perhaps your most inspiring chapter yet. Thanks
