While I was writing last night, some campers were all excited about seeing a bull moose, with full antlers while taking a walk nearby. They showed a video around; it was majestic! I\u2019ve never seen a moose in person in my life, and all the way up here, I\u2019ve been praying to see one, safely, of course. Lucky them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After about 40 minutes, I have no luck finding the moose, so I reluctantly decide to head back to the campgrounds, somewhat disappointed. I take a different route on the way back: The Old Mail Road; a trail that used to be the only way to reach the communities in the Northern part of the peninsula until the 1950s when the highway was finally built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m walking by myself, and some black bears were spotted in the area, so I talk out loud to make some noise, as recommended. Last week, I was in L.A. attending the annual summer martial arts training camp. One of the subjects of discussion was purpose<\/em>. I recite the mantra Sensei suggested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
