  • Wild at heart

    By John Eldredge

    Spoke to me and aligned with my history

    Sent BflyMary

    Just had a Godwink… 🔗 moment: Wild at Heart book is exactly what I need. I stopped at the part that I understood I was missing a lot of what a boy needed growing up with women and not tested much. Developed “why try” mentality. Weakened me so much thru out life, but now thru Christ everything has changed for me.

    Closed the notebook and book. Looked at the verse of the day… Romans 5:3-4 Rejoice for problems and trials to build character for salvation….. God so Good

    0440-0515 tired anxiety in bed

    Zen sniffs me to get up

    The name is going to fit her well one day

    Brush squat dress for the day inhale

    Read wild at heart by John Eldredge for book study with DatMike

    Pg 10 took me for a tangent

    After talking about a boy’s nature is to desire battle, an adventure to live, and a beauty to love

    All resonate with what was not modeled, encouraged, and in some instances, quelled

    Into a self denying, passive, flowy personality

    *snatched to consistency

    I heard a gear shift in my head and the image of a white silly cloth unwinding clockwise to be closer to being made creaseless and clean

    Revelation graced… 🔗

    What I did not receive from my uprising as a boy to be aman

    I did receive an important notion

    My most emotional moment of leaving the Tran family

    May not have been (to me) appropriately comforted

    Ultimately I was comforted when I was brought back to them

    Consistency is key

    I was not the happiest I could have been

    But I was the happiest I had experienced

    **snatched could should

    Excommunicate could and should from lexicon

    They are words of worry and anxiety

    ***

    Sendy had the complementary experience

    February midday Saturday travel is not busy

    Sewing project is a great travel activity

    Get $20 currency exchange as soon as you can

    Do not look for deals yet

    We got stuck in the station because we passed our stop

    Because of 60 yen…

    We had hundreds of US$

    That was useless in Shinjuku without currency exchange machines

    Not much English nor direction from firm security to not allow passage

    Now at the end of the trip:

    I understand we needed to merely jump on the train back one stop and freely walk out

    At the time:

    Had to beg a tourist and was willing to pay $20 (lowest denomination I had) to get out of the station

    Mercy was given freely

    After smooth walk and check in to hotel

    Simple curry

    Simply delicious
    Cozy (small) clean hotel sleep
    Early morning walk around city
    Traditional breakfast a la carte

    Lost my credit card along the way

    Paid via phone tap wallet

    Cat walk around city
    Coffee park stroll
    Rest In Peace Frosty

    Etiquette embedded in culture

    So meal respect was attempted
    Quality presentation and tasty
    Returned for a jet lag nap
    Quality dipping ramen
    Exploration of alley shops
    More morning walks
    My buddy with me and sharing to others
    Beat all US hotel breffis
    To Nagano!
    Such nice stations

    Unfortunately no ski rental in town

    Ryokan with onsen is lovely
    Could not figure out wifi
    Potentially busy
    Empty for this season
    Well kept temple
    Known for buckwheat soba
    Overflow niigata sake
    Must onsen

    Forgot the room photo!

    Comfortable floor tatame beds

    Morning walk was quiet
    More than Shinjuku
    Oyaki great breki
    Educating unplanned trek
    Shiga kogen half day
    Run 1
    To the top!
    1998 Olympics
    Returned just in time for sunset
    I like the normalcy of small owned shops
    Independent quality

    Onsen before bed

    Morning walk thru park by temple
    To Myoko-kogen!
    Day 2 Run 1
    Last run!
    Good timing since I lost my lift ticket memorabilia
    Awaiting bus ride back
    Pocket ski snack smooshed
