supporting, loving & guiding

“The Universe is always here supporting, loving & guiding us even when our mind may sometimes convince us otherwise. Let’s open our arms wide open right this minute & give the Universe full permission to feel this support, love & guidance in every area of our lives. Watch the magic that will unfold soon. We’re all in this together!”

-Emmanuel Dagher

“So I’ll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies”

chin up.  heart wide.  voice booming.

red–deep blood red–strong like passion

blow away the others–up and away

muscle’s ripped inside, inside the heart and the mind

some call it “audacity”, some “nerve”

its the lion hidden in your kitty

fire in the rain

it makes you better then the same

confidence.

 

be confident

the dreamer

i’m just a dreamer but i’m hanging on
though i am nothing big to offer
i watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
it’s like nothing in this world’s ever still

dreams. necessary to life. the progression forward. allowing yourself to think that there is more to what you have now. giving yourself the ability and time to create something you haven’t quite done yet. believing. giving in to the out of ordinary. being okay with new. with different. with above and beyond.

take a hike

as the sun shines the snow melts

the cold dirt turns to cool mud

the crisp air freshens my breath

walking up the rock path to the peak

Exploring the mountains and the trails is a wonderful way to release society and all of its ideals. I found myself driving towards the mountains away from town and away from people. Some days it doesn’t matter if you love the people dearly, or you don’t, sometimes you want the only thoughts in your head… to be yours.  As I drive toward the incline I realize I’m prepping myself for the upward lifting of myself in this life. The upward incline I feel like I’m walking, but I know the top is up there, up there–waiting to be explored and waiting to show you the views from the top.  While I took two absolutely amazing hikes that grounded me to my own realizations, I think it’s important to know what gets you there…

which is why this post is called “take a hike”. I have realized that the further I get in life, the less advice I want. Life has a way of teaching us and every person you meet wants to tell you how to change your life. That’s great…  but honestly, right now, right here, I’m not ready to hear any one’s perspective… Its mostly because I’ve been doing this for awhile (you know, living) and I think about what I love and what I need in life and usually this matrix of likes and wants doesn’t correlate with any other person’s matrix (hence, why we’re unique).  But instead of telling people to “take a hike”– I took one myself. And is probably the best reaction I could have. You must take yourself out of the situation and out into the wild and take a moment to feel your own heart beat.

the sky is blue and the sun is shining

the fresh evergreen air clears our head

the beauty around  reminds us to embrace our own

road trip

“When you come to a fork in the road….take it”

-Yogi Berra 

 

I’m going to pretend that I’ve been writing this whole time, explaining to you the intricacies of our lives in metaphor after metaphor, we know the truth, but sometimes it’s nice to pretend. Basically I am on a really long road trip, but I can see the horizon and I’ll be home shortly. Parts of the trip were traveled with friends and or family. I ruled the road in a large box truck, rode as a passenger, and then embarked solo for a bit.  I didn’t mean to push aside my writing and I’m afraid it wasn’t the only thing that I pushed away, but I’m back. Fortunately, I’ll not end in August because my writing will never stop. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be writing daily (to share). Fortunately, I will probably one day share my other writing with you. and Fortunately, I will probably add some other fun things (like cooking!).

Anyway, Life’s a (road) Trip! You keep moving and going and peeing and eating and refueling and looking forward. Where you are going might change, but you’re still moving forward. forward is a weird trick.. it’s a direction that can’t be defined. and really what does that mean.

Forward (adverb): toward the front; the direction you are moving or facing with your chin slightly up, your heart open, and your attitude a bit more positive then usual.
