our picnic at the lake: part two

it's always windy at the lake. so eventually i had to put on a thicker coat.

i can't seem to get over how quiet it was here. it's an expansive silence.

a silence that you know if you had more time to listen you might have a poetic epiphany about life.

i just wanted to breathe. to be quiet as well. i wanted to look with my uneducated eyes.

it's times like these i wish i would have found an interest in biology earlier in life.

but now is never too late...i will observe as a child observes, and maybe one day i'll

have names to put on the phenomena i see, hear, and feel. 

am so grateful for access to wildness.

it's monday now. one of those great mondays where you feel motivated,

like you're ready to move forward with life, approaching obstacles with

confidence that you will get through them.

{p.s. am feeling nostalgic for a sunny day up at the cabin thanks to marte!}
