Waves crash against dark volcanic rocks on the Icelandic coast near Hvalnes. In the background, steep mountains disappear into low, heavy clouds, while a patch of blue sky opens over the turbulent North Atlantic. The scene feels raw and untamed, with the contrast of mist, rock, and sea creating a dramatic atmosphere.

Some magic in the mundane ✨

The Sun behind dark gray clouds yesterday morning

A view of the outskirts of my town as I waited at a train crossing this morning

A flat field with trees on the horizon under a gray overcast sky

A sliver of pink in a gray cloudy sky that I was able to glimpse this morning

Five weeks in, and Mount Sopris finally gets snow my last two days here. Properly dressed at last.

Truth, then, is not a possession,
but a connection—
the echo of the cosmos recognizing itself in sentience.

In the act of pondering,
the Mystery does not merely appear;
it creates itself again,
each time more complete,
more subtle, more luminous.

Taos Pueblo
Taos, New Mexico

The journey is not yours alone
Earth walks with you
Stone listens
Wind sings
Clouds carry the spirit
of those who came before
honoring their path
and the memory they left behind

reached to close the gap

A woodland path, partially obscured by fallen leaves, cuts softly through an autumn forest. The sun, low and visible through the trees, spotlights the seasonal oranges and golds.
