NOLS Dispatch; Issue 6; Taking the Camera Out



The Final Breath in the Dark

I am now officially 13 days from graduation. As this chapter is coming to a close, there are so many things that have to be finished, and at the same time could go unfinished and unthought of. I'm not sure anymore. The path seemed to be so certain, so well thought out that it was fool proof. The thoughts of passed dreams left to be forgotten speak up from the darkness; the fireman severing the community, the soldier sacrificing for his country to name a couple. What really chews at my insides is that what I think that my life may be changed a dozen more times before the pieces fall into place. Can and will be changed. 'I don't know' has become the answer that I turn to most, and the one that scares me. More because the unknown is unknown, and undefinable, and by definition, undefined and while society says we can craft it into what ever we want. I believe that the moment has been chosen, and has yet to be discovered. But like any discovery, it can be of surprise or of horror depending on what you thought you might find.  In the video it talks about presuming ones passion but also being able to redefine what the pursuit looks like. 


In Conclusion

The next 3 months will fly by so quickly I will soon be reading this post from my dorm room in Leadville thinking, 'where has the time gone?'. I hope to be able to says that I took everything in that I could, tried new things, and made honest mistakes. I want to be pushed beyond my limits and over come them. To be a light to the broken hearted, while letting my own heart pulse with the seasons. To affect the world, and let the world affect me. As part of enjoying the moment I will write blog posts, a permanent record of my growth. 


Hope you enjoyed the video.
