..and The Memories Came Rushing Towards Me.➰ #USA #pacific #westcoast #ocean #photography #photooftheday

From my vantage point: The calm before the storm is not just a phrase. Saw it heading in my direction as it turned and twisted its way through the mighty canyons. You would notice the lightning at the start of the video. Winds blowing so hard that snowflakes hurt you. I was able to get some footage in, while my friends were screaming, asking me to get back in the car, to drive away from the storm. I'm grateful to my friends who are mostly willing to bear my craziness. But it's experiences and moments like these that are so moving and changing. I felt so fearless, big in my heart but small on the outside, so strong yet so gentle, determined yet humble and so disciplined yet so free. :) #ripplesinmyheart (at Grand Canyon National Park, South Rim)

Hush now. Early morning view from the Campground. Sierra's wilderness, once experienced, stays with you. (at Temple Crag)

Through the wilderness into the wilderness.

Oh the things you can find, if you don't stay behind. :) #travel #photography #catalinaisland #yatch #instatravel #travelgram #traveltheworld #photographyislife #photographylovers #photogrid #view #pacific #ocean #island #usa #photograph #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelphotograph

Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?

Rumi (via aspiritualwarrior)

I believe we create our own walls and those walls drives our thoughts and actions towards people. The only way to free the flow is to never imagine the existence is walls in the first place.You will thus see the magical flow of energy, the free flow will elevate you and then people will often recognize that as your selfless power. Yes, selflessness is a great power to posses. For only selfless people taste ecstatic state of being.

I want to keep my lungs inflated with the calmness of the mountain air. I want my ears to keep listening to how the earth sings, not because it can sing but because the earth has a song for me. I want to hold the image in my eyes, the image of the mighty mountains through the clouds, of the waters of the earth together and apart, the breath of the ocean. I want to hold on to the feeling of moist mountain air enveloping my skin, like gently cleansing my soul's air.- Ripples In My heart (at Mt Tamalpais, West Peak)
