a point of view

Perspective from the lens of a tourist in British Columbia.

a living

The heart needs another outlet,

but it can’t pour everything out to every thing.

Necessary is space for the business of this existence,

one wants a life, but needs a living.

…Fallen pines to shape the skyline
Take me there
Beneath the barren colored moon

Quit all that looking back
I quit all of that..

- Gregory Alan Isakov, Berth

Winter Morning

Softly, softly.

your mind, ready

“What is one to do with such moments, such memories, but cherish them? Who knows what is beyond the known? And if you think that any day the secret of light might come, would you not keep the house of your mind ready? Would you not cleanse your study of all that is cheap, or trivial? Would you not live in continual hope, and pleasure, and excitement?”
― Mary Oliver, Winter Hours

Webs on a trail in Washington State

illusionary

Feels like you’ve been here before,

illusionary doors,

unsettled stagnant scores.

the gateway

the feeling that you might end up somewhere else entirely,

depending on where you step,

to veer off trail is to find yourself losing yourself,

which, depending on who you ask,

can be lovely

or alarming.

resolve

There are some very large letting goes to do:

people, places, honeyed and battered phases of life

there are some even larger letting goes to do:

anger, tears, parts of yourself that leave with no return.

Hope

Above all else.

May love and hope, which is our natural state,

be what we return home to.

the midst

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

October

We’ve entered into the softest season of boldness.

A quiet yet colorful paradox.

Confident whispers.

once more with feeling

Interrupting Canadian imagery from our trip to bring you a surprise I experienced at 11:07pm last night. It lasted about 15 minutes and was stronger in color visible to the naked eye than what we saw months ago.

I can’t believe I’ve now seen the aurora twice this year.. life is full of the unexpected.

Bound/Influenced

What it feels like to be a wave

Influenced by a small thing you can never touch,

Pushed and pulled always in motion.

To hold such force..

But only within the confines of

That small thing that binds you.

That thing that is smaller than you.

That thing you can never touch.

heart tangles

If I loved you less, I may be able to talk about it more.
