This prompt showed up a day after a friend asked me how to plan a backpacking trip.
In a nutshell, my advice was to research a lot, make a plan, and then be prepared for that plan to go to hell. Don't let it bother you--just be prepared to pivot. (Which is a good way to approach life in general, I think.)
Thanks for a month of growth and reflection! One of my favorite quotes… maybe because it’s nature and maybe because I’m a gardener as well… it’s from Mexico ( I believe)
“ they thought they buried us. They didn’t know we were seeds”

This may be the best and most concise backpacking advice I’ve ever read!

Growth and hope always ❤️
This is beautiful, and I am reminded of the Sarah Bareielles song “Armor”:
“What you didn't do to bury me
But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed
You don't scare me, I am of the earth
So tired of your empire
Blind men only set the world on fire
Sad you can't see it
You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix…”
