Mtn. Chickadee requests that when voting, please consider the environmental policies and ecological ramifications of your representatives and law making. Regardless of how you feel about the impact of your vote, it is a privilege that is not extended to all who are subject to its results. In the most bleak of winters a meager handfull of seeds may be the hinge upon which survival relies. Please vote. And continue to vote. Every dollar we spend, every calorie we burn, every word we share is a ballot cast. Choose to have a voice. Vote today, vote tomorrow, and vote everyday thereafter. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGhER2pBx0/?igshid=1alfp7r2jfjd0

Gentle flame, ignited wonder, a radiant relationship emblazoned upon our lives, burnished into our very being, our heart's common hearth. (at The High Desert Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGu9LciJzO4/?igshid=k79qzhk89xyd

This little chap appears to be wearing sunglasses. Having a grand ol' time picking morsels from my windshield. Crossbills are so weird. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGZAhY8J02R/?igshid=liw4a5wif3rd

Bittersweet. Thanks for the opportunity to draw the #bokken. But please, take your balloons home with you. Leave it better than you found it. That's just good kung fu. Plain an' simple. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGRd3CwJYhj/?igshid=6ucnhzo7oe5o

3+ hours of snow shoveling makes for a delightful mabu burn. 🎯5 Minute Ma Bu Challenge! 🎯 🙏Follow, Share, Join In!🙏 🐌🚀👺Half Way Through!!👺🚀🐌 I have already learned so much in 4 short weeks. Looming large is that I can train anywhere, anytime. Rest and recovery are very important. But, too often I have let them become an excuse to avoid discomfort. Mabu hurts, there's no way around it. This was true day 1, it was true yesterday, it is true today, and it will be true tomorrow. I am learning to better embrace the pain, to face it directly, to lean into it, and to learn from it. Within each moment of suffering, I encounter what is true within my Self. Distraction, story, worry, the past, the future, it all melts away and it's just me in the moment, feeling what I'm feeling, being what i am. 🌋NOW MORE HORSE STANCE!🌋 #morehorsestance #5minutemabu #5minhorsestance #horsestancechallenge #martialartstraining #liondancetraining #shaolinkungfu #selfmastery #selfdiscipline #flagstaffmartialarts #flagstaffstrong #lifestyleofawarrior #kungfulife #9dragonskungfu #jademoonwushu #uneedmartialarts #sacredmountainkungfu #sacredmountainliondance (at Sacred Mountain Fighting and Healing Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMLaCIneOb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j5hyeapwn7c4
