Love this, Brad. Yes, those washed-out roads are often thresholds if we allow ourselves to remain curious. I've been stopped in my tracks several times and each time my life became richer. Thanks for the story

Sounds like ‘another’ heart thumping moment - prolonged moment. I think the universe is definitely trying to tell you something. Rivers are definitely a messenger for you. 💕

Well damn. The ish is gone. ❤️

“It reminded me why I believe in lived wisdom. Why I trust stories more than systems. Why I believe that we earn the right to say something true only by walking life’s muddy path.” ❤️‍🔥

I live in Albuquerque. I've been to Christ in the Desert and the Echo Amphitheater. I remember our group being told we needed to beat it out of there by some time, maybe 2pm, or else the road turned rain slick becomes sticky caleche' and you'll be stranded until Mother nature decides to do something else. Your telling is enlivening!

Incredible—as always. I was an “atheist” until lived wisdom grabbed me and told me a different story. I wasn’t prepared…but isn’t that the point? I never intended to be a spiritual person but how can you not be when life hands you wisdom?

I love this whole piece! Especially this line- “Don’t tell me what life is until you’ve let it knock you on your ass and teach you something from down on the ground.”
