I’m probably biased cause I can’t write anything about backpacking without quoting HDT or talking about Buddhism (RJ makes me take all those bits out of my gear reviews), but I really love this piece, Ben. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks, Ben. I enjoyed this a lot, and I like it more as I think about it more.
BPL – please keep publishing pieces like this!
Ben, I really love the cadence and the contemplative aspects of this piece. Thank you so much for sharing, and Ryan for publishing – more like this wouldn’t hurt.
No matter where you go, there you are. A paraphrase of Jon Kabat-Zinn, which I think is a brilliant way of acknowledging the fact that you are always going to be with you. So do your best to like what you see in the mirror. Ben, thanks, great post.
