"Remember humility, love and tolerance every waking hour of the day. When our heart is humble, then we never quarrel or criticize; we only love and love never breeds intolerance. Without these three we cannot be in harmony." – unknown

A memorable moment of humility occurred for me in 1995 when I was visiting the Canadian Rockies. My wife and I were at Moraine Lake around 7 pm in late August of that year. There were no other tourists there at that moment, which made it all the more special. We had this place to ourselves.

As we walked along the various footpaths I came to a fenced off area. Being a curious fellow, I hopped the fence to see what was beyond it (I know, I know). It turned out to be an outcropping of rock overlooking the vista that is Moraine Lake and I could see why it was fenced off. Falling from that cliff edge would be deadly! But the view was amazing so I sat down in a cross-legged position to meditate on it.

Your experience reminds me of how I reacted when I first looked out over the Frank Slide from the interpretative centre...

I've been rescued by God all through my life. It was ALWAYS bigger than me. Really scary events, rescued.
I feel indebted to the Lord(I am Christian) and I was about maybe 1 or 2 MINUTES from a 'fate worse than death'.
Good you tuned in!! The SLIGHTEST shift could start something. Yes, humility. I'd say it's all bigger than us.

Beautiful. No doubt.

@mindmuser, oh, there was a blog? I guess I just wanted to look at the picture...

Alright, on it.

@mindmuser, haha, okay. Yeah, I'd missed part of it. Was little stuff falling around you? Did you hear deep rumbling slicing through the silence?
