Good Day Nature Lovers,
Some wawnderings to share. From my journal on June 14, 2012, during a week long stay on the Oregon Coast at Arch Cape:
“Nice solo walk on the beach. Seams. Edges and transitions create seams.
Grand wilderness beyond words
Ocean ever flowing”
Sea to sand, sand to rocks, rocks to mountains, transitions form seams. A seam creates connection. Transitions are seams are connections that hold the world together.
SEAM
From my journal on August 8, 2012, while on a solo camping trip in the Olympic National Forest:
“Awesome Day…difficult Tunnel Creek Trail hike rained out. Checked book and choose Murhut Falls Trail. Easy .8 mile walk to a beautiful isolated waterfall and…
All Alone In The Wilderness!
Nervous Spooky gives way to gratitude and openness…relax
KEEP IT SIMPLE
SEAM: Simple Experience Arouses Meaning
NATURE IS MY SOULMATE!”
Transitional seams also exist in the mind. They assist in making sense of the world, creating connections, and keeping it simple.
But simple isn’t easy.
Simple is actually very difficult. Simple requires letting go.
Whenever I let go of expectations, of trying too hard, of trying to conquer, of trying to prove I’m worthy,
I find peace in my connection to nature’s wonders.
Fortunately, on this day alone in the forest, I was able to let go.
Simply and laughing
I find peace in wilderness
Nature as soulmate
Wishing you solo time in nature,
Be Well
