these were from my most recent trip up to norcal, in sebastopol to be exact, where my dear friend jane now resides. ain't she a beaut?!

hug longer, love louder
i'm fortunate enough to be living only five blocks from the beach. and when i get home from work early enough to see it, this is what i'm gifted with.
how does one not feel grateful to see this at the end of a busy workday, or any day, really? it's a constant reminder that there's so much more than the little things that make us worry, stress, and get frazzled about.

this. so great. so, so great.
"Beauty and seduction is nature's tools for survival, because we protect what we fall in love with. It opens our hearts, and makes us realize we are a part of nature and we're not separate from it. When we see ourselves in nature, it also connects us to every one of us, because it's clear that it's all connected in one.
When people see my images, a lot of times they'll say, "Oh my God." Have you ever wondered what that meant? The "oh" means it caught your attention, makes you present, makes you mindful. The "my" means it connects with something deep inside your soul. It creates a gateway for your inner voice to rise up and be heard. And "God"? God is that personal journey we all want to be on, to be inspired, to feel like we're connected to a universe that celebrates life.
Did you know that 80 percent of the information we receive comes through our eyes? And if you compare light energy to musical scales, it would only be one octave that the naked eye could see, which is right in the middle? And aren't we grateful for our brains that can, you know, take this electrical impulse that comes from light energy to create images in order for us to explore our world? And aren't we grateful that we have hearts that can feel these vibrations in order for us to allow ourselves to feel the pleasure and the beauty of nature?
Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude..."
(here is the TedTalks version: gratitude.)
do you realize?
i'm feeling happy and excited and energetic and grateful! be grateful y'all. be grateful for everything you have and everything that's been given to you–good and bad, vast and minute, lasting and fleeting–and make the most of it all!
this song makes me want to engulf you with the biggest, tightest, sincerest, love-filled embrace i could possibly give with all of me.
back in a few.
