river wild.

This photo is the background of my computer at work. It reminds me to focus on not getting caught up in the craziness of the week. That this in-grained desire for something bigger is normal. That we were not made for this world, but while we are here we must not miss the good parts.

River Wild.

There is a peace in the woods, in the dark of the trees. In the rain and under the branches. I hear whispers of wind and cheers of wildlife. I hear Hillsong music and the light rain covering the deep. The streams a-flowin and the rush of the wide-open scapes. OPEN HEAVEN - RIVER WILD.

This world today has been so rearranged by MAN that we sometimes can't recognize it for what is was in the pure state of which it was created.

So I am reminded, reminded to take care. To leave no damaging mark but to kiss the earth gently - To pray, listen and speak less.

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” - C.S. Lewis

winter is coming

"Girls love each other like animals. There is something ferocious and unself-conscious about it. We don't guard ourselves like we do with boys. No one trains us to shiel our heads from each other. With girls, it's total vulnerability from the beginning. Our skin bare and soft. We love with claws and teeth and the blood is just proof of how much. It's feral. And it's relentless." -Leah Raeder, Black Iris (via quoted-books )

its almost here.

sunshine - whether it be spring or summer or fall, is coming. I can feel it when the clouds begin to part on the evening drives home. my feet begin to dance and my heart begins to pump. being outside, after working inside all day is something I want more than ever. When I was young, I took being outside for granite. I never had a bigger desire than at 25 to be in the trees. to be in the mountains and hills and fields. to smell more than circulated air. to feel the soft ground below my feet. out of heels and into boots. climbing and climbing. for the rush of the journey and the work on the legs. the more and more I age, the more and more I am drawn to wander. to move about, explore and adventure. you would think one would slow down. I am just getting started. its the rush, the actual feeling of being alive. the fresh air on my lungs is a high - better than any drug could give me.
