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

born to explore!

I have always craved adventure. And I always was striving for the next one. When you begin to work every day, all day and only have a couple days off a week, you begin to need adventure. I NEED AN ADVENTRUE. I need to feel the trees, blowing in the wind, their sweet sweet smell of pine and maple. I need to feel uneven ground, get a little dirty, and feel the demand of my body to move forward. I need to feel the air outside… oh what a concept. Outside. I sit in a cubicle, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am blessed, like I say all the time... I have a big window. I’m blessed again, but I want more than to look outside while breathing inside air. I long to be out, in the warm, cold air. I guess when you are locked up for so long your body starts craving the outside. So I decided to adventure, this Spring, Summer and Fall. I have a couple friends and my boyfriend who are in for the challenge. I’m going to push myself to backpack, hike, swim, climb, ca...

megan, hi thats me. the wanderer

Hi. I am Megan. Photographer. Music junkie. Looking for the next adventure. Hiker. Animal lover. Hey! Just a little about me. Started a blog. YEAH. Like everyone else... NO. But hey! One of my good friends told me blogging is very therapeutic, a hobby, something you can do to get it all out... reminds me of my childhood! When I was young, getting everything out was my motto. Nothing was secret, nothing wasn’t said. I said it ALL! I could remember filling journal after journal of notes, letters, poems, rants and so much LOVE. I would write and write, about crushes, getting out of town, breaking up, growing up, finding love (again and again… but never knowing the feeling), and looking for that true happiness. Man, if I could look back and read it all, I would laugh out loud and maybe cry at some parts. Man I was so young and NAIEVE! Have I grown so since those days. But looking back always is good- seeing the innocence in the days, nothing to do except ...
