  5. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

  9. by Kiyoshi Awazu

    for me the eye at the top sets this up as maybe some kind of representation of mind or witnessing of something. I like the layers of color, I associate those with layers in the earth's crust, or those geodes that look like that. Steady rhythmic repetition but also flow of wind or water. Lots of different things that happen all at once with this image for me. Solid and stable and aware. I could have this on the wall reminding me how to be. haha

  10. How to (Finally) Grow the F*ck Up

    Are people more #immature today than ever before? Is there more #selfishness, #stupidity and #babyrage than prior generations?

    In this video, we are going to take a look at how we develop and #mature, what can get in the way of that #maturity, and whether or not there is widespread #narcissistic #childishness happening in #society today.

  12. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life flowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 13 “Family” (1930)

  18. A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort

    Often an opinion, a custom, seems absurd when we are young, and advancing in life, we find the reason. Mustn’t we conclude that certain habits aren’t so ridiculous? One is lead to think sometimes that they were established by people who had read the entire book of life, and that they are judged by people who, despite their esprit, have only read a few pages.
     
    [Souvent une opinion, une coutume commence à paraître absurde dans la première jeunesse, et en avançant dans la vie, on en trouve la raison; elle paraît moins absurde. En faudrait-il conclure que de certaines coutumes sont moins ridicules? On serait porté à penser quelquefois qu’elles ont été établies par des gens qui avaient lu le livre entier de la vie, et qu’elles sont jugées par des gens qui, malgré leur esprit, n’en ont lu que quelques pages.]

    Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
    Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 1, ¶ 21 (1795) [tr. Siniscalchi (1994)]

  19. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Because I have reached Paris, I am not ashamed of having passed through Newhaven and Dieppe. They were very good places to pass through, and I am none the less at my destination. All my old opinions were only stages on the way to the one I now hold, as itself is only a stage on the way to something else.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 37

  20. A quotation from J. M. Barrie

    MRS. DARLING: (from the window) Peter, where are you? Let me adopt you too. (She is the loveliest age for a woman, but too old to see PETER clearly.)
     
    PETER: Would you send me to school?
     
    MRS. DARLING: (obligingly) Yes.
     
    PETER: And then to an office?
     
    MRS. DARLING: I suppose so.
     
    PETER: Soon I should be a man?
     
    MRS. DARLING: Very soon.
     
    PETER: (passionately) I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things. No one is going to catch me, lady, and make me a man. I want always to be a little boy and to have fun.

    J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
    Peter Pan, Act 5 (1904, pub. 1928)

    The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.

  24. Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Two weeks ago I thought that I would have an issue with this weekend and I was right. I thought that I would want to do a hike with one group, and do a Via Ferrata with a second group. That situation is now a reality.

    A Good Hiking Group and a Goal I want to Reach

    I have wanted to walk up to the Dent De Vaulion for a few weeks now, and on Saturday I have the opportunity to do this with a group, rather than alone. Not only this, but it's also a group that I appreciated being with two weeks ago. I want to experience that group again on Saturday. The issue is that it's a 13km walk with 700m of climbing. In my experience the distance is usually longer than planned, and if it is sunny and warm then heat fatigue is possible.

    Having Energy in the Evening

    My other concern has been around for weeks at this point. If I have lunch at midday and then I do something physical like a Via Ferrata in the evening, then how do I ensure that I have enough energy to do the climb. I was considering this challenge ahead of deciding that I wanted to do the hike in the morning. If I do the hike I will be fatigued. If I spend the day in the sun the sun will fatigue me. If I do not have snacks with me during the climb, and water, then I will be fatigued too.

    Fear of Mission Out - FOMO

    What this situation boils down to is FOMO. I want to go on the hike because I have a fear of missing out. But missing out on what? Meeting good people. By that logic the Via Ferrata Illuminé will be an excellent opportunity to meet people as well. We'll be at the registration, and then we'll be at the funiculaire, and then on the Via ferrate, and then at the top for the meal, and then on the télécabine down. In theory I will have my crowd bath (Bain de foule) with ease. If I save my energy for the evening then that is when I will benefit the most.

    Once Per Year and a Short Season

    The via Ferrata Illuminé is once per year in Moléson. This means that I need to do it on a specific day, or I will have to wait another year for another opportunity. The hike, in contrast, is easy to organise anytime. In fact it may be a good hike to do in Autumn, when the leaves are changing colour. I have been to the Vallée de Joux and Vallorbe quite a few times this year so it may be rational not to go yet again.

    And Finally

    I will stay signed in to the hike until it reaches 25 people, and at this point I may pull out to allow someone else the opportunity to enjoy the hike, that has no other plans. Logistically if I do the hike I need to park at Le Pont. The train is once an hour from Le Pont. If time is tight I want the flexibility of the car.

    In an ideal world both activities would be on different day.
