The trail—like life—may not always be what we want it to be, but it offers us the opportunity to choose how we respond to whatever it doles out.

  • In the hiking world we have a saying, "Embrace the Suck!" 

  • It's a reminder that the trail doesn't care what we want it to be and is not there simply to meet our expectations.

  • But we always have a choice to accept what is and manage it with faith that things will eventually change for the better. 

  • A good mantra that emphasizes our power is, "Embrace the suck or it will embrace you!"

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
