I’m actually getting a lot done today 💚
Reading to his girl 📖 #elephantandpiggie
I’m finally sharing photos from my weekend completely unplugged and away at @breitenbush_hot_springs 🤍 This land is so special. I soaked in the depth of the spiritual intensity as much as possible I journaled, read, soaked in the hot springs, ate delicious vegan food, and hiked everywhere that was safe. (The fire of 2020 devastated much of this area, so there are many spots that are still unsafe to explore.) I am so thankful to live where I do, and for this land that the Creator has given us to nurture and protect. **Breitenbush Hot Springs in on Santiam Land, a band of the Kalapuya, though is was visited and revered as sacred land by native peoples from hundreds of miles around.**
We’ve been keeping a secret. Meet Sequoia! We’re keeping her name that she sweet foster family gave her (Koia for short!) because she’s so smart and she responds to it so well! Her mama was a German shepherd lab, just like our Max, and our best guess is that her dad was a cattle dog. That’s the beauty in rescue dogs. You never know what you’re going to get! She’s adventurous and so sweet, and our pack is complete!
You are looking at the face of a woman who is going off grid to snowshoe and go in hot springs SOLO all weekend! It’s a requirement for school! What can I say? And I won’t be around any people, but there was still no way I was going if I had contracted COVID, so I’m so thankful to be well. No phone, no internet, no work. Just me and the Divine with space and quiet. See you on the other side!
Just continuing to live outside as much as possible. It’s the place where alignment grips my heart and steadies it. It’s where I am the least bitter and the most grateful. It’s where I am fully alive in the present and not distracted by the endless dreams for my future. Because how could I focus on my 10-year plan when the tip of this fern is curling in a way that makes me ache with appreciation. How could I possibly imagine what is to come when right now this little brown sparrow is looking at me with the sweetest black eyes while energetically hopping all over the small, bare tree next to me? If my head is in the clouds then I miss the wooly bear caterpillar working so diligently to cross the trail in front of my feet. No, the world outside will always be more lovely, more true, more earnest than all of my imagining.
