Welcome To The Throb Of Life

Welcome to The Throb of Life where you will find my latest thoughts on everything non-technology. Wine, philosophy, personal epiphanies, social discoveries all infused with elements of anosognosia combined with a hint of Medoc and a spritzing of Zen. Feel free to comment and share your thoughts.

I Wasn't Prepared

I wasn't prepared for the beauty of the lake as I came around the corner.  It was calm, cradled by the mountains.  It was breathtaking.

As the sun rose behind me, It lit the mountains at the far end of the lake.  I just wasn't prepared for this spectacle.  It was absolutely next level. 

I wasn't prepared to see the lake, lit in gold  as the rising sun bounced off the nearby mountain.  I was stunned.

My backpack was loaded with water,  the "10 essentials", and other gear, but nobody told me to bring tissues to wipe my eye, and blow my nose (yes I cried). 

I wasn't prepared for this moment at all.
