Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
How can I carry the lessons I’ve learnt throughout my travels into new spaces?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
How is spirituality interconnected, and what does it mean to live in harmony with Mother Earth?

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:
Time in Nature

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
For my retreat I did the Santa Cruz Trek. Not only was it physically and mentally demanding, but it pushed me into a deeper patience, presence, and trust in my own resilience. It showed me how strong my body is, and defied a lot of my previous expectations about my capabilities.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
In early November, I left a group of people who had become a very important part of my travel journey. Saying goodbye was difficult, as not only was I parting ways with new friends, but it distinctly reminded me of how hard Pearson goodbyes were. I was left in a state of sadness.

Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Impact
December 1, 2025
I originally assumed:
I used to think that to genuinely leave a lasting impact on a place, I had to do something big or visible, or I had to give something materialistic to fully give back to a place.
December 1, 2025
These assumptions are changing:
Now I sense, that in the world of human interconnectedness, we are all written into one another’s stories, and in memory we leave lasting marks on one another, meaning I’m learning to approach interactions with intention and care.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Self guided multi day trekking throughout the cordillera Blanca.

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Learning more about our perspectives on the world.

Being intentionally away from technology and distractions has taught me:
How fulfilled my life is when I’m in the mountains, rivers, and trees. The sensation of inner being and connection to the sacred when I’m present with Mother Earth.

Doug! It has been absolutely wonderful being able to get to know you more. Our conversations throughout the past couple of weeks have been so enriching and have really made me think more introspectively about my life, the world, and travel in general <3

Feeling welcomed by the world around me. 4500m above sea level, only myself and my travel companions were at this lake. Without access to wifi (or the world at large!) I felt truly present in the space I was existing in—both physically (the earth and mountains had let me inhibit this space) and mentally (I was at peace, without the buzz of the world beyond).
