Embracing Change Wisconsin Spring

Spring in Wisconsin is all about embracing change. The same is true in life. We’ll talk about it in Embracing-Change-Wisconsin-Spring-Bob Davis Podcast 1162.

Travel Is Constant Change

Above the thing about travel is the constant change.

Issues in Life

Therefore when I stop down for the summer in Wisconsin I am confronted with these same issues in life.

New Wrinkles

As a matter of fact as I work harder and harder on my videos for the YouTube Channel that in itself is a big personal change.

For the link to the video version of this podcast click here.

Equally important is the nature of the season of spring.

Travel In The Southwest

After all most of my travel this winter has been in the Southwestern US.

Documenting Travel

And I have produced several videos and podcasts about my travels.

High Points

For example the Pacific Coast Highway in California, Death Valley and finally heading east on America’s Loneliest Highway Route 50.

Grateful To Watch Full Seasonal Change

Given many thousands of miles of nomadic travel this season staying in one spot gives me an opportunity to watch a full seasonal change.

Spring eventually becomes summer.

Depths Of Winter

Firstly up here in Northwestern Wisconsin when one is existing in the depths of winter…

It’s undeniably true that it feels like summer will never come.

To Glorious Summer

But it does!

And it’s truly glorious.

Brown To Blue Skies

Because I was able to see the change from barren brown and grey to verdant green and blue skies…

Analogy To Change

I was able to draw the analogy to changes in life as a result,

Resist Change

‘Secondly it is also true that we resist change.

Running To Seasons Change

Yet we run to the change of seasons.

Spring To Summer

Especially winter to spring and then on to summer.

Why Don’t We Embrace Change

Given these points I wonder why we don’t embrace change in our lives in the same manner?

Grateful

Even if we’re moving from Fall to Winter we might be grateful the heat of summer has passed.

Contrast

In contrast when it comes to personal change we wonder what we did to ‘deserve’ a certain result.

Fight Change

Or we fight to prevent the change from happening.

An Era Of Chaotic Change

Finally we’re living through an era significant because of its complexity and chaotic change.

Good

On the one hand change is good,

Bad

On the other hand it isn’t always easy to handle.

Aging

Even more we all age.

Growing Up

In addition those around us grow up and grow old.

Growing Old

In spite of our efforts people pass away.

Afterward I’ve always thought it strange that they have moved on but all their stuff is still here.

Life Goes On

Meanwhile lie goes on and we must cope.

Difficult Life

Also from time to time we are confronted with difficult circumstances which have the same finality.

Not Easy

At this instant it isn’t easy.

But we have to go on.

Better To Embrace Change

These days I am thinking it is better to embrace change than to fight it.

Oversharing Nomads Ruin Travel

Do oversharing nomads ruin travel? These days it seems like all the travel highlights have been detailed by oversharing nomads. Details in Oversharing-Nomads-Ruin-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 1158.

Opportunity

Certainly the world is full of opportunities for Discovery and Exploration.

Nomad Life

And I discuss these subjects in relation to nomad life.

Documenting Experience

However recently I have noticed almost every place and experience has already been documented with a pin in a map…

So everyone else can have the same experience.

Freedom

By all means we have the freedom to experience and enjoy where we go in our own way.

Overshare

Nevertheless one of the pitfalls of the so called #nomadlife ‘movement’ is a tendency to overshare ….

Lecture

And as a matter of fact lecture everyone else about where to go and what to do.

Road Tramps

Even more with people who learned nomad life a certain way from certain people…

They are generally apt to pull right up next to a vehicle and force themselves on other campers.

On one hand this behavior is based on the idea we’re all brothers and sisters in this effort.

Manners and Boundaries

On the other hand this behavior shows a pronounced lack of manners and boundaries.

Accordingly it is not unusual to find yourself listening to a whirlwind travelogue with ‘pointers’ on where to go and what to do.

How Do You Define Adventure?

With this in mind one wonders when adventure, discovery and exploration happens…

Ticking Boxes

If all we do is tick boxes on a list from someone else.

Amazing And Incredible

In fact my sense is social media and modern technology have made the practice of telling everyone else about ‘amazing’ and ‘incredible’ places very common.

Leave Something To Discover

In the final analysis we should be leaving something to discover for the new travelers.

Not That Hard

In addition these same people stress that Nomad life is extremely complex and difficult.

In summary it’s not that hard.

Sooner or later we all discover the world is a big place and there’s a lot to see.

Maybe some experiences are still pristine.

Keep It To Yourself

If you find one…Keep it to yourself.

2025-High-Vibe-Death-Valley-Bob Davis Podcast 1154

2025 High Vibe In Death Valley

It’s time for a higher vibe to ring in the New Year and Death Valley is the place to do it. Details in 2025-High-Vibe-Death-Valley-Bob Davis Podcast 1154.

Staying To The Maximum

I came here to stay one or two nights and ended up extending to the maximum time.

As a matter of fact I could live here if they let me.

What a contrast to the Truck Stops of Las Vegas.

Especially the stars.

Largest National Park

Of course this is the largest National Park in the Lower 48.

Surprise

But at the holiday time of year I was surprised by the number of people camping up here.

Primitive Man

Certainly it’s true that our end of year rituals rooted in primitive man.

So it’s fair to suggest Christmas and New Year’s celebrations precede the Christian Era.

And our commercial hustle and bustle suggests a return to pagan roots for some.

Camping For Christmas and New Years

But I am still surprised at the number of people camping here for Christmas and New Years.

Primitive Roots

Accordingly this place has a lot of primitive history.

With this in mind the ghosts of Ancients, American Indians and Pioneers have a certain currency.

Ghosts

As well as the miners and entrepreneurs that built some of the best attractions in the Park as well as in the region around it.

History

Up to the present time this place has a lot of history.

Gratitude

Furthermore as a nomad I am grateful for the ability to enjoy places like this at length.

Vibe

The first thing to remember is the vibe in the campgrounds is high.

Campfire

Firstly every night there is a lot of talk around the campfire of where people camped and what they saw that day.

Crush Of Holiday Activities Back Home

Secondly and chiefly a huge relief and respite from the shopping and food and family intensity of Thanksgiving through the New Year.

Winter Solstice

Meanwhile the Winter Solstice is supposed to be for resting and refitting.

In addition for preparing our seeds to be planted in Spring.

In summary Death Valley is a special place with a lot of life!
