A great short film brought to us by REI. Looks at the challenges and brilliance of women’s climbing. I really appreciate their viewpoints and ideas about how toopen up climbing, as well as the world.

Ed Sheeran’s “Castle On The Hill”
Ed Sheeran has not been terribly exciting to me. However, his song, Castle On The Hill delights me deeply.
It’s opened me up to exploring more of his music.

Today’s Gratitude
Today’s gratitude:
The joys of a morning tea
And functioning cars
This morning’s meditation
Sitting in stillness

Summer’s Approaching
Languid summer days
Sweetly flavored ice on sticks
The joys of childhood
Focus On Gratitude
I’m grateful for these:
Joyous children around me
Love’s capacity
Morning sunrise
Light exudes comfort
Low slung Sun filtered through firs
Glinting off the dew
When trust is damaged

Gratitude
Grateful for two things:
Surrounded by my dear friends
The warmth of sunlight
Parent’s Day
There, in Korea
We celebrate our parents
Thankful carnations
From today’s Google’s Doodle: “Instead of devoting one special day to mothers and another to fathers, South Korea champions both on Parents’ Day, celebrated every year on May 8.
The holiday was first introduced in the 1930s as Mother’s Day, and it emphasized the importance of honoring one’s parents. In 1956, Mother’s Day became an annual holiday. Fathers eventually joined the party; in 1973, May 8 became Parents’ Day.
Red carnations, a symbol of love and gratitude, figure prominently in Parents’ Day festivities. On this jubilant day, families play games in Seoul Square, while stores and street vendors sell baskets of colorful carnations and carnation-themed novelty gifts. Children show their respect by pinning the flower — or paper facsimiles — above their parents’ hearts.
Today’s Doodle rings in Parents’ Day with this playful illustration showing children hard at work, creating red carnation decorations for their beloved mom and dad.”
