talking to God

i went on a walk in a field that i never had the courage to venture in.
i spoke with God.
Listened.
I am still listening.

til the end

i posted pictures from this photo safari forever ago. when i saw them again it made me think about being alone. i have been pondering the idea of alone for a while as i have struggled to come to turns with the fact that i might live life alone . the idea is great and incredible sad at the same time. i hope to have both. so i am thinking of cherishing the singleness by spending a month in oregon in hopes i can re-discover why its okay to be alone while secretly hoping to find just the opposite.

stay or leave

Yesteryday, I went on a photo safari and enjoyed the sweetness of nature and good company. What joy it is to enjoy the simple thing in life , to watch, to listen, to question and to just be quiet.

grey blue eyes

life has a way of letting you die slowly and without much notice.
i am resolving to pay more attention to the time that is left.
so not miss the beauty and to embrace the time ahead with a new vigor.

Life

Lately, I have become obsessed with words. Well, more like quotes. For some reason, a good quote has always been medicine to my soul. Reading a short phrase that is powerful enough to envoke change, love, forgiveness, imaingation, inspiration or anything else in between has been a favorite past time of mine. No matter who says it, it stays with me- like a good poem, it has the type of power to tranform my own thoughts into that of others and for a brief moment I feel connected to the world, to others. I feel, in a way, as if my dreams aren't that far away.
Maybe one day, I will be quoted.

No more victims

Comfort, Hope and Love

Life is an amazing journey. This past week I found the way to heal the aches of my heart. Jamaica gave me hope, love and the ability to dream again.
After a week of self discovery, self awakening, healing , and laughter I can truly say that this world, the people of this world are nothing short of miraculous. Through this short time I met Marshall who taught me to hope and to always keep my integrity, Gary " Romeo" who reminded me to smile and to create the enviroment that I want, Strickland who showed me the power of hard work and the necesity of knowing about the world around you, Shena who showed me how to be graceful, Micheal who taught me to dream big and Horace who taught me to take risks. All of them posess a different outlook on life- each one blessing me with their own life experiences. Each person changed me. Each person gave me so much.
Jamaica gave me so much.

Coming home has been bitter sweet- leaving the friends that I made and the memories that were created was difficult but also exciting. The things that were gained from this short work/vacation are things that will carry me into a full life.
Here are the images that helped create it all.
