.sunday explorations.

I explored a new part of Central Washington this weekend. There's something about being totally immersed/absorbed in land so vast that scale and distance is totally distorted and you feel like you've been swallowed by it all. Walking through the vast fields of grass and basalt columns, you can't help but be totally transported into a new reality, for a moment. 

It's so vast and there's so little that I could see or know. It made me think about perspective and our lived experience, how this world is so much bigger - wider- and deeper than I'll ever know. How can I from my tiny corner of experience zoom out to see more - to take more in - to live from a bigger place? It was such a perspective shift and on a beautiful full sun day after such a long dark winter. 

.a favorite place.

This is one of my favorite places, ever. Despite being only 30 minutes from where I grew up I didn't find this walk until a few years ago but now I try to visit every time I go home. It has all my favorite colors, plants and textures. This visit the fog was heavy and thick and slowly lightened up by the end of our walk which gave a deep vibrancy to the muted earth tones. I'm back east already but still holding this place near.

.full moon SUPER moon in Taurus.

Some healing thoughts for this beautiful SUPER moon tonight! I hope it's clear where you are.

"Spend time in places where the land is untouched and wild and you can align your heartbeat with that of Mother Earth. Allow her energy to soothe our souls, ground us and remind us of what is eternal and true. We all belong. There is work ahead, but we are in this together. We are the bridge, and we must each individually and collectively continue to work on healing the divides."

“We’re empowered when we enjoy the present, neither mourning the past nor dreading the future. We’re stronger when we let go of the toxic need to be drawn into intrigues and power plays."
