The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Probably 30%-40% of my sitting shots are off my trekking poles. I just loop the leash over the opposite pole and vice versa. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51820184912_0045189b41_c.jpg
