“Cuando fotografías a una persona en color, fotografías su ropa, cuando lo haces en blanco y negro, fotografías su alma.”
Ted Grant
"The mythologies we ascribe to, whether consciously or unconsciously, determine how we measure, reflect on, and make sense of our experiences.
We must take responsibility for deriving meaning from our life experiences, our relationships, and our place in the cosmos as a whole — and it's up to us, each, as individuals, to create for ourselves our own personal code, to become our own heroes, and embark again on a fresh exploration"
Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many sunsets I’ve seen, hearts I’ve loved, trips I’ve taken, or concerts I’ve been to. That’s how old I am #✈️

Tabletes de fusta Ema. Són petites tabletes de fusta en les que podem escriure les nostres pregàries o desitjos per a què els Kami o Déus Sintoistes ens facin cas. Només les podem comprar en santuaris Sintoistes. El procediment és comprar la tableta, escriure el nostre desig en un costat de la tableta i penjar-la al santuari on posteriorment serà cremada perquè el desig els hi arribi alt i clar als Déus.

“What, then, is a travelling mind-set? Receptivity might be said to be its chief characteristic. Receptive, we approach new places with humility. We carry with us no rigid ideas about what is or is not interesting. We irritate locals because we stand in traffic islands and narrow streets and admire what they take to be unremarkable small details. We risk getting run over because we are intrigued by the roof of a government building or an inscription on a wall”
The Art of Travel, Alain De Botton

I got an awesome opportunity this weekend to hike with some fellow "gorge rats" to the entrance of the Linville Gorge, known as Goodman's Bottoms. This area is known for its fields filled with daffodils in the springtime, and for the historic homestead that once existed in the fields. Shortoff Mountain, the welcoming rock face sitting at the entrance of the gorge, looms in the background with the Linville River winding it's way towards the gorge alongside.
Being able to hike here is truly a privilege and once-in-a-lifetime event since it's on private property. I can say that I was truly blessed to take part in this hike, not knowing if I'll get the same opportunity again. Thank you again to my friend Mark Houser, Josh Spurlin, Denise Bishop, Wigg Faulkner, and all of the other "gorge rats" who love our backyard wilderness so much and who so graciously invited me along. Until next time, enjoy my take on the first signs of spring from the Linville Gorge! I'll post some video soon, so stay tuned! Happy Spring, y'all! #linvilleriver #linvillegorge #blueridgemountains #NCmountains #cathyandersonphoto #shortoffmountain #daffodils #springflowers #spring #yellowflowers #wildernessarea #wilderness #wildernessphotography

The word "travel" comes from the Old French word "travail" (or "travailler"), which means "to work, to labor; a suffering or painful effort, an arduous journey, a tormenting experience." ("Travel," thus, is "a painful and laborious journey").
Whereas "to wander" comes from the West Germanic word "wandran," which simply means "to roam about." There is no labor or torment in "wandering." There is only "roaming."
Wandering is the activity of the child, the passion of the genius; it is the discovery of the self, the discovery of the outside world, and the learning of how the self is both "at one with" and "separate from" the outside world.
These discoveries are as fundamental to the soul as "learning to survive" is fundamental to the body. These discoveries are essential to realizing what it means to be human. To wander is to be alive.”
― Roman Payne, Europa
