THE THANG: “An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered.” – G.K. Chesterton
6 brave PAX ascended the steep summit of Mt. Eddy with no guarantee of safe return. Mumblechatter was in abundance. We (I) contemplated the meaning of “no” in the F3 credo, considering the legal implications of adhering to an unqualified “no”.
Paused for some breathwork at the Pavilion atop Mt. Eddy. Wolfpack tempted me to lead the PAX in impromptu table lifting and carrying…but I resisted.
We descended returning to the parking lot 3 minutes behind schedule.
MOLESKINE: Learn to reframe life’s inconveniences as adventures.
