June 1, 2026, work

Our son. Sanibel Island. The early years. Ps. This is a ‘reverse sunset’ view.

Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, school was always one week away from being over, usually June 6, 7, or 8th.

There was no real schoolwork that last week.

The arrival of Summer always had ‘June’ written all over it.

Praying for Earth, work

Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.

Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.

Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.

And as i type this (4:25pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 35 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.

The work-side of me can focus on a grand picture of Earth in an infinite cosmos.

Incomprehensible.

And we are infinitesimal.

Everything we know about Earth and our Milky Way Galaxy…

i have come to learn through science, that we are so blessed, so extraordinary.

But we are the center of nothing.

If Earth disappeared, the cosmos continues, unaltered, uncaring, unaware.

Carl Sagan is intriguing me in a way similar to Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, Mother Theresa, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sheldon Cooper.

Praying now that when i wake up tomorrow (April 8, 2026, 5:00am) our Earth isn’t ‘on-fire’.

Teach hope, work

mountains and lake
We have more photos of this location, more memories, than any other Glacier location. Mt Oberlin is a close second, but Cheryl hasn’t been there yet. She’s been super close, but not to the summit.

Teach hope…

At work?

Yes.

The bar doesn’t lower when you show up at work.

End of story.

Ps. Happy present moment.

Harvest hope, work

mountains
Guess? Yep. From our back deck from our cabin.

Harvesting a lifetime of work.

Then you get to retire from a lifetime of work.

What’s the harvest?

Whatever you sowed.
