00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.710
Good morning, War Zone kids. Welcome to
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:04.789
the channel and welcome to the trail
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.909
head because that's where you are once
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.470
you've decided it's important to you to
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.549
find and make a better life for
00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:14.150
yourself.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.990
I made
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.070
some videos about different ways that I
00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:21.189
think of healing. Django towers, hot
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.590
rods and lemons,
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.670
winning in the BMF belt back for my
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.910
family.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.349
Those are all different ways of thinking
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:30.550
about it. And then just straight up
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.950
healing, just using the word healing. Uh
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.870
healing is what you need if you have a
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.430
compound fracture of your tibia and
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.190
fibula.
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.670
Or is it tibula and fibia? I can't
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:43.190
remember. But you need healing if either
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.990
one of them's broke. And if you've got
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.190
damage to your psyche, if your Jenga
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.549
tower didn't make it out of your
00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:52.790
childhood in the kind of shape it needs
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.990
to be to make it through life, then then
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.470
your problem is living your life with
00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.549
the psyche and the self and the soul
00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:02.869
that you have and what words you use,
00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:04.710
whether it's healing or whether you like
00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:06.550
a different metaphor, different words to
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.030
talk about it. It's not about the words
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.789
or about what other people have to say
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.469
about it. It's about you living your
00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:14.870
life as a war zone kid.
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.030
Pass to the western lands starts here
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.109
with the desire to find a better life
00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:21.429
for yourself, to learn and become who
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.230
you are. To get that BMF belt back for
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.469
your family, to turn your lemon into a
00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:30.469
hot rod, to heal, to grow, to become
00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:33.109
conscious and aware, whatever you want
00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:36.310
to call it, to live your life. How do we
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:39.109
live? That's a question that face all of
00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:41.350
us war zone kids. How do we live our
00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:45.590
life for us? For us War Zone kids,
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:49.510
the past and the future can be heavy as
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:52.389
mountains, but the present moment is
00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:55.109
light as a feather. You find that to be
00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:57.990
true. It's hard to believe,
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.950
but that's how the world feels to me.
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.670
When I'm here in the present moment,
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.429
living my life as light as a feather.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.309
When I go into the past, as heavy as a
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.910
mountain. When I go into the future as
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.550
heavy as a mountain, but the present
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.030
moment right here is light as a feather.
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.830
Nothing here but the microphone and a
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.710
camera, the light
00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:31.270
and a mewing cat.
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.670
That's all there is. If you're here at
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.509
the trail head, you're here with your
00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:38.710
whole life. People say a lot of times, I
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.350
got my whole life ahead of me.
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.790
No, you don't. Ahead of you is nothing.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.470
There is no future. There is no ahead of
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:50.150
you except in your mind. Your whole life
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.470
is right now here in the present moment
00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.390
because there's also no past. Where is
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.990
it? It's only thoughts in my mind. That
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.869
past that's heavy as a mountain and that
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.430
future that's heavy as a mountain. My
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:07.030
whole life is right here where I am
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:09.190
today. And if you're at the beginning of
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:10.869
the trail head, if you're at a moment
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.110
like that, honor that fact. You're here.
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.030
You got yourself here to this moment in
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:19.190
your life.
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:22.229
Right now, wherever you are, reach down
00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:24.630
and put your hand on the ground or the
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:31.030
floor underneath your feet. Right now,
00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:34.070
that ground,
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.390
that floor, it's always going to be
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.350
under you. Always
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.070
that ground is your home. Your life
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.030
right now is your home. It's my home.
00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:50.229
The trail to the western lands
00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:53.750
is a trail from where I am right now to
00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:56.390
back home. Where I am right now. It's a
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.949
trail to myself. It's a trail to the
00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:00.949
present moment.
00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:03.589
You can worry about what's on down the
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.550
trail for you in your life later
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.190
or not. I advise not worrying about it.
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:11.589
All you can ever do is take the next
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.390
step. And don't even worry about that
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.830
right now. When you're at the trail
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.990
head, you're at a moment in your life
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.390
like this where you're ready to move
00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:21.830
ahead for something different and better
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:24.790
for yourself and for your family,
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.310
stop for a minute.
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:31.350
Make a gratitude list.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.110
something that the first sponsor I had
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.950
in Narcotics Anonymous told me to do.
00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:38.469
Get out a paper and a pencil and write
00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:41.350
down five things you're grateful for.
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.469
Do that right now. It's a good idea.
00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:45.909
I'll help you get started. I'll give you
00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:47.189
the first thing to write down. So,
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.230
you're really only going to have to come
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.710
up with four other things.
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.430
Be grateful for yourself for getting you
00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:54.950
here.
00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.990
Be grateful to the parts of you that are
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.110
still a hurt, screaming war zone kid.
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.469
Because whatever it took
00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:06.710
to survive whatever war zone you came
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.469
from,
00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:10.230
that little war zone kid inside of you
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.270
got you here.
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:15.029
That little war zone kid may have a hard
00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:17.909
time living as an adult. That war zone
00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:22.870
kid inside of you screaming to stay safe
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:25.830
back when the war was raging might not
00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:29.510
be able to hold a job. That war zone kid
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:31.110
in there might make it really hard for
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.189
you to have stable relationships
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.909
to plan for the future
00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:39.270
might make all kinds of things about
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:41.510
everyday life hard. Well, that's because
00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:42.950
those aren't the concerns of a small
00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:46.230
child. And your war zone kid inside of
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.230
you still has the concerns of a small
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.990
child, which is how to survive from day
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.230
to day. And whatever that war zone kid
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.029
inside of you did, it got you here. It
00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.510
got you out of that war zone alive. Got
00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:59.909
you here. So be thankful to that little
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.230
war zone kid. That's the first thing to
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.390
write down on your list. Come up with
00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:07.909
four other things. And if it's possible
00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.629
in the morning, I mean tomorrow morning,
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.830
if it's possible where you are,
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.390
wake up
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:20.070
before the sun comes up.
00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:21.510
I live in Vermont and we're headed
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.790
toward the frozen dark time of year, so
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.790
I don't even have to get up early to go
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.590
outside before the sun comes up. But go
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.670
outside before the sun comes up if you
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.070
can
00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:40.309
and watch the rosy fingered dawn rise
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.189
on your day tomorrow.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.550
It's the only tomorrow you're ever going
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.870
to get. Get up early,
00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:51.029
watch Rossy Finger Dawn come up over the
00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:53.110
horizon,
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.710
and you'll see why they call it the Rosy
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.550
Finger Dawn.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.870
Be grateful for that.
00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:00.710
Because the rosy finger dawn is going to
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.469
be there for you every day of your life.
00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:04.790
Just like the ground under your feet,
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.909
just like the air that you breathe.
00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:09.430
That rosy finger dawn will be there
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:11.749
every day of your life.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.670
Write that down on your list. That's two
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.270
cheating. You have to come up with three
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:18.150
on your own really. But do that just for
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.430
today. Come up with three other things
00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:21.990
that you're grateful for.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.670
You can take some steps on the trail
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.990
tomorrow. Those are tomorrow's steps.
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.629
You cannot take those steps today. You
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.270
can only take today's steps. Take a
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:36.629
minute, sit down, and look around.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.070
You'll see that big sign. It says,
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.830
"Welcome to the trail for the western
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:43.909
lands." It starts right here, right now.
00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:46.790
Put your hand on the ground. Get up in
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.469
the morning. Go out and see Rosie Finger
00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:50.950
John. Thank her for being there.
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:53.990
Tomorrow's miles are for tomorrow. Today
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.830
is for noticing where you are.
00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:59.749
It's a good day to look at that trail
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.670
head sign. It's a good day to be on the
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.990
trail. It's a good day to be alive,
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.749
pilgrim.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.510
Remember that today the number of your
00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:10.469
days on the trail is reduced by one. So
00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:13.029
enjoy it.
00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:14.629
Daylight's burning, pilgrim. Let's get
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.840
after it.

Good morning, War Zone kids. Welcome to
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:04.789
the channel and welcome to the trail
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.909
head because that's where you are once
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.470
you've decided it's important to you to
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:12.549
find and make a better life for
00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:14.150
yourself.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.990
I made
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.070

winning in the BMF belt back for my
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.910
family.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.349
Those are all different ways of thinking
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:30.550
about it. And then just straight up
00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.950
healing, just using the word healing. Uh
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.870
healing is what you need if you have a
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.430
compound fracture of your tibia and
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.190
fibula.
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.670
Or is it tibula and fibia? I can't
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:43.190
remember. But you need healing if either
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.990
one of them's broke. And if you've got
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.190
damage to your psyche, if your Jenga
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.549
tower didn't make it out of your
00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:52.790
childhood in the kind of shape it needs
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.990
to be to make it through life, then then
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.470
your problem is living your life with
00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:00.549
the psyche and the self and the soul
00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:02.869
that you have and what words you use,
00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:04.710
whether it's healing or whether you like
00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:06.550
a different metaphor, different words to
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.030
talk about it. It's not about the words
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.789
or about what other people have to say
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.469
about it. It's about you living your
00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:14.870
life as a war zone kid.
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.030
Pass to the western lands starts here
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.109
with the desire to find a better life
00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:21.429
for yourself, to learn and become who
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.230
you are. To get that BMF belt back for
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.469
your family, to turn your lemon into a
00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:30.469
hot rod, to heal, to grow, to become
00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:33.109
conscious and aware, whatever you want
00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:36.310
to call it, to live your life. How do we
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:39.109
live? That's a question that face all of
00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:41.350
us war zone kids. How do we live our
00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:45.590
life for us? For us War Zone kids,
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:49.510
the past and the future can be heavy as
00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:52.389
mountains, but the present moment is
00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:55.109
light as a feather. You find that to be
00:01:55.119 --> 00:01:57.990
true. It's hard to believe,
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.950
but that's how the world feels to me.
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.670
When I'm here in the present moment,
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.429
living my life as light as a feather.
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.309
When I go into the past, as heavy as a
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.910
mountain. When I go into the future as
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.550
heavy as a mountain, but the present
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.030
moment right here is light as a feather.
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:23.830
Nothing here but the microphone and a
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.710
camera, the light
00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:31.270
and a mewing cat.
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.670
That's all there is. If you're here at
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.509
the trail head, you're here with your
00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:38.710
whole life. People say a lot of times, I
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:41.350
got my whole life ahead of me.
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.790
No, you don't. Ahead of you is nothing.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.470
There is no future. There is no ahead of
00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:50.150
you except in your mind. Your whole life
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:52.470
is right now here in the present moment
00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.390
because there's also no past. Where is
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.990
it? It's only thoughts in my mind. That
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.869
past that's heavy as a mountain and that
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.430
future that's heavy as a mountain. My
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:07.030
whole life is right here where I am
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:09.190
today. And if you're at the beginning of
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:10.869
the trail head, if you're at a moment
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.110
like that, honor that fact. You're here.
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.030
You got yourself here to this moment in
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:19.190
your life.
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:22.229
Right now, wherever you are, reach down
00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:24.630
and put your hand on the ground or the
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:31.030
floor underneath your feet. Right now,
00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:34.070
that ground,
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.390
that floor, it's always going to be
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.350
under you. Always
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.070
that ground is your home. Your life
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.030
right now is your home. It's my home.
00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:50.229
The trail to the western lands
00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:53.750
is a trail from where I am right now to
00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:56.390
back home. Where I am right now. It's a
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.949
trail to myself. It's a trail to the
00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:00.949
present moment.
00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:03.589
You can worry about what's on down the
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.550
trail for you in your life later
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.190
or not. I advise not worrying about it.
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:11.589
All you can ever do is take the next
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.390
step. And don't even worry about that
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.830
right now. When you're at the trail
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.990
head, you're at a moment in your life
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.390
like this where you're ready to move
00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:21.830
ahead for something different and better
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:24.790
for yourself and for your family,
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.310
stop for a minute.
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:31.350
Make a gratitude list.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.110
something that the first sponsor I had
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.950
in Narcotics Anonymous told me to do.
00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:38.469
Get out a paper and a pencil and write
00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:41.350
down five things you're grateful for.
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.469
Do that right now. It's a good idea.
00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:45.909
I'll help you get started. I'll give you
00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:47.189
the first thing to write down. So,
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.230
you're really only going to have to come
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.710
up with four other things.
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.430
Be grateful for yourself for getting you
00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:54.950
here.
00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.990
Be grateful to the parts of you that are
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.110
still a hurt, screaming war zone kid.
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.469
Because whatever it took
00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:06.710
to survive whatever war zone you came
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.469
from,
00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:10.230
that little war zone kid inside of you
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.270
got you here.
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:15.029
That little war zone kid may have a hard
00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:17.909
time living as an adult. That war zone
00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:22.870
kid inside of you screaming to stay safe
00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:25.830
back when the war was raging might not
00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:29.510
be able to hold a job. That war zone kid
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:31.110
in there might make it really hard for
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.189
you to have stable relationships
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.909
to plan for the future
00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:39.270
might make all kinds of things about
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:41.510
everyday life hard. Well, that's because
00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:42.950
those aren't the concerns of a small
00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:46.230
child. And your war zone kid inside of
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.230
you still has the concerns of a small
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.990
child, which is how to survive from day
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.230
to day. And whatever that war zone kid
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.029
inside of you did, it got you here. It
00:05:55.039 --> 00:05:57.510
got you out of that war zone alive. Got
00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:59.909
you here. So be thankful to that little
00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:02.230
war zone kid. That's the first thing to
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.390
write down on your list. Come up with
00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:07.909
four other things. And if it's possible
00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:10.629
in the morning, I mean tomorrow morning,
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.830
if it's possible where you are,
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:16.390
wake up
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:20.070
before the sun comes up.
00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:21.510
I live in Vermont and we're headed
00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:24.790
toward the frozen dark time of year, so
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.790
I don't even have to get up early to go
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.590
outside before the sun comes up. But go
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.670
outside before the sun comes up if you
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.070
can
00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:40.309
and watch the rosy fingered dawn rise
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.189
on your day tomorrow.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.550
It's the only tomorrow you're ever going
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.870
to get. Get up early,
00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:51.029
watch Rossy Finger Dawn come up over the
00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:53.110
horizon,
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.710
and you'll see why they call it the Rosy
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.550
Finger Dawn.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.870
Be grateful for that.
00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:00.710
Because the rosy finger dawn is going to
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.469
be there for you every day of your life.
00:07:02.479 --> 00:07:04.790
Just like the ground under your feet,
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.909
just like the air that you breathe.
00:07:07.919 --> 00:07:09.430
That rosy finger dawn will be there
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:11.749
every day of your life.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.670
Write that down on your list. That's two
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.270
cheating. You have to come up with three
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:18.150
on your own really. But do that just for
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.430
today. Come up with three other things
00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:21.990
that you're grateful for.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.670
You can take some steps on the trail
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.990
tomorrow. Those are tomorrow's steps.
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.629
You cannot take those steps today. You
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.270
can only take today's steps. Take a
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:36.629
minute, sit down, and look around.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.070
You'll see that big sign. It says,
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.830
"Welcome to the trail for the western
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:43.909
lands." It starts right here, right now.
00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:46.790
Put your hand on the ground. Get up in
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.469
the morning. Go out and see Rosie Finger
00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:50.950
John. Thank her for being there.
00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:53.990
Tomorrow's miles are for tomorrow. Today
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.830
is for noticing where you are.
00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:59.749
It's a good day to look at that trail
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.670
head sign. It's a good day to be on the
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.990
trail. It's a good day to be alive,
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.749
pilgrim.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.510
Remember that today the number of your
00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:10.469
days on the trail is reduced by one. So
00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:13.029
enjoy it.
00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:14.629
Daylight's burning, pilgrim. Let's get
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.840
after it.
