Hey friends, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast today. This episode is if you're already there. Now here's your host, Kurt Linville.

Hey friends, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast today. This episode is really kind of unique.

Justin Wadsworth talks to us about endurance sports, but he also talks to us about the sport of cliff jumping. In this episode, we talk about life and death we talk about living

life well and how to manage loss to some degree and it's very curious to me I'm

editing this episode right now to be posted tomorrow so when you hear this it will be

the first full day of winter. And today is the first

partial day of winter, which means it is the winter solstice. Now, some people would say that the

winter solstice is the darkest day of the year. It is the northern hemisphere. There are more hours

or time of darkness on the solstice than any other

day of the year. But it's also the day of the year that the daylight hours stop getting shorter and

start getting longer again. And as a result of that, throughout human history, people recognize this time of the year as a time of

renewal. When the sun is coming back to us, it's when the light begins to grow, when warmth

winds over darkness. Justin speaks briefly about love and light in this episode, so I just found it very interesting

and timely that this episode would happen to fall on the solstice.

Since we are in the holiday season as well, I thought I might share a little bit of history

that a lot of people may not know.

The celebration of Christmas, of course, is to celebrate the coming of the Christ child, of the coming of Jesus being born into the world.

And Jesus was known as the light of the world.

I'm not getting religious on you. I'm just sharing the perspective.
