"The truth is, your lifestyle is not defined by the things you live with, but by the way you live and the happiness it brings to yourself and others." 🌟 🌈 ⋅
I will not give up, slow down, compromise, sit back, or be turned away from that to which I am called ever onward. This beautiful surrender to an adventure - something dangerous. Something worth living for. Something that demands all of me.
I crave this.
My heart cannot be put into a limiting box of either your expectations or mine. It's far too wild.
But I'm not afraid of that.
☀️ Start your day with beauty and inspiration!

"Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow."
— Paulo Coelho
Let me stay here in this moment until time stands still and silence speaks its own refrain if you but listen.
Let me hold memory in one hand and joy in the other and breathe in the sweet stillness of hope.
And then, my dear, let my pen sing the songs that my voice cannot. #sweeterpoetry
|| favorite moment of the day, hands down: playing a grand piano in a wine cellar in Mendoza, with prime acoustics and the simplicity of wood mixed with the smell of wine and shadows ||

Finding an image for "Push the Sliders" was very easy for me! I am guilty of this and proud of it! SOOC is rarely what I 'thought' I saw!!
Jackie and I raced to where we could get the sunset before it was gone. The best spot we found was naturally taken by two other photographers sitting up on a peak, with camp chairs, tripods and beverages. Don't you hate how others are always prepared? We considered knocking them out and stealing their spot ... and beverages ... but settled for a spot off to the side. It really was a spectacular sunset!!
Happy Slider Sunday!

Malapatan, Sarangani is bounded by a rich aquatic mangrove forest, where mangrove trees reach 10-20ft high, it has also serve as a barrier to the might waves of Celebes.
Going inside this aquatic forest is surreal. This is a shot from inside the “forest” with the sky matching its beauty and showcasing theatrical lights.
"It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets.
It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B.
The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way."
— Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn.
Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
There's a storm tonight, so I muted my music and turned off all the lights and just sat there listening. Listening to the way my breath catches when I didn't expect that last one, the way that somehow all the city noises stop in that moment....and somehow my thoughts do too.
So I sat there listening. Because I can't do anything else. You see, that city is me. Quieted by the storm because it reminds me that I'm small. And so are my problems. But you know what? It also whispers this: "I love you." #sweeterpoetry

"We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity.
When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything" 🍃💦💚 —Jonah Lehrer, Why We Travel: The San Francisco Panorama (McSweeney’s, scienceblogs.com/cortex/2009/12/10/why-we-travel)
