If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there ~ Lewis Carroll It has been far too long since I’ve heard the crunch of the trail under my feet, felt the rush of breath from my lungs, and tasted the cool, damp forest on my face. After spending all my spare hours experiencing the world from the saddle of my motorcycle, few hours were left for me to escape on this type of trail. With my bike all tucked in for the winter, it was time to choose a trail, to listen to the wisdom in the quiet, the steadfastness of the trees, towering over and shielding from a few stray rain drops. It was time to fuel my soul in a different way, in a slow, deliberate, soft way. With no agenda, no destination, no route, I found myself on the right path, at the perfect time. I found myself exactly where I needed to be 💚

Look closely. The beautiful may be small ~ Immanuel Kant There is beauty in the mundane, happiness in the simplest of places, extraordinary in the ordinary. I’m being challenged to be and stay present in the moment. To find connection in the small moments, to remember to be grateful for all the minutes. Time to dig deep, be brave and stay present. Taking the time to look up, open my eyes and appreciate the small things 💚

Change comes from reflection ~ Genesis P-Orridge * Fall has always been a time of pause, reflection, and contemplation. As the leaves slowly change colour and eventually give up, blanketing the ground with a soft orange glow. The trees take time to pause, to determine how they will show up in the spring. * As the trees, I use the fall to mindfully take stock and let go of what no longer serves. Taking the time to evaluate the health of my boundaries, shedding my self-deprecating and self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, the ones rife with not good enough. Politely walking away from harmful relationships, whether those are with others or some form of escape. * Looking out at the brilliance of the changing season, it’s a time to be present, to sit with my thoughts and feelings, turning towards them, not away. It’s a time to decide what leaves I can let fall 💚🍁🍂

We do not remember days, we remember moments ~ Cesare Pavese Life is built around the small moments, the everyday moments, the ones that sometimes feel like they are being endured. The moments that feel ordinary, mundane, routine...those are the ones that we often look back on as extraordinary. . Be present. Be aware 💚

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. - Henry Miller . . . . #elevateeachother #thebestisyettocome #selfloverevolution #weareenough #alltheminutes #calm #stillness #bekind #forgetthefear #gratefulheart #sheisnotlost #peacefulwarrior #keepupthekindness #allaboutadventures #getoutstayout #thisisus #streetphotography #goexplore #outdoorlife #pnwonderland
