you can only flow with the change, enjoy the ride, and take advantage of the beauty when you accept and love nature in it's varying forms

I have been intending to make this post for a while now, as I got back many film photos that I have taken over the past year recently and have been wanting to share them. Then I was reading through my journal the other day and thought it might be interesting to give you a glance into my brain.... So I came up with the idea of pulling segments of my journal entries and partnering them with this batch of film photos. It actually took a lot longer than I thought it would, as I realized how personal my writing is in my journal, and how I wanted the photos to somewhat correspond or at least harmonize with the words. The quotes are short, but succinct. They display my inner struggles, my doubts, fears, and my attempts at confidence boosting and grounding. It is finally coming together as I have managed to badly injure my knee and am stuck on a couch for a while. Ice, compression, therapy, food, sleep, and blogging.
I hope you can enjoy reading this post as much as I did composing it.
Picture
so many blank, clean pages to look forward to
Picture
I am getting closer to being ready to trust, ready to believe in myself
Picture
trust your decisions -- trust your instinct, trust your body
Picture
and, you have already decided anyway. so that's that.
Picture
...I was reminded that you don't have to search for that quiet, calm, confident and still place. It exists inherently. It is always there.
Picture
pure flow, pure focus, is our most essential self
Picture
heading to a balanced, driven, calm state where I need to be
Picture
I wish I could have kept on believing
Picture
that is the real me that I want to harness
Picture
know that this is exactly where you're supposed to be
Picture
maybe that creature of self-doubt will return...
Picture
to believe, to play, to revel in that silent, joyful curiosity
Picture
when one is truly acting from the heart, performing from the soul, they do not care about what others think
Picture
how to enjoy something that you don't necessarily like is a difficult feat. Just because it isn't your style, per-se, doesn't mean you can't embrace it, enjoy it, welcome what Mother Nature has to give you, with open arms
Picture
lay in the sun, play in the ocean, bury yourself in the sand, HEAL
Picture
I didn't feel the sun shining on me very often
Picture
he reminds me that it is about the journey, that there is so much joy and pure pleasure to be found in every day, every run, every breath
Picture
believe, just for the sake of believing
Picture
the training wasn't great, but the mountains were gorgeous
Picture
anchor yourself to the present moment
Picture
it is the darkness, the mind, that covers it up and makes you forget the light
Picture
that got into my head and freaked me right out. in the end my doubt and deep, internal fear took over
Picture
to care about others so deeply that you no longer make comparisons....
Picture
your position gives you the opportunity to move beyond the boundaries of where you are physically
Picture
I am working on my calm
Picture
it feels so nice to feel the fluid-ink run out of the tip as I make these marks
Picture
see the world, every person, every relationship, every conversation as an opportunity to practice.
Picture
love them, listen to them, watch them and know that, like all thoughts, they are fleeting and not real
Picture
"the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating joy of life" - Joanna Newsom
Picture
let your light shine through the strength of that connection
