Wind And Waves

Before leaving Colorado, Nathan and I went on a hike up the mountain that overlooks the valley I grew up in.  It is one of those “special” spots for me, where i feel centered and inspired.

I stopped and swam in the Colorado River a couple times along the way. Once, close to where the river begins and another time closer to Moab.

Julia and I have been hanging out a lot this summer and having an amazing time. It seems that whenever we get together, some kind of crazy unpredictable adventure unfolds. [Read more →]

Everything takes on its essential nature of dynamism – as opposed to the static of either/or and – and we feel the infinite nature of existence. To me, infinite refers to possibilities. We can’t intellectually comprehend infinity, but we can know freedom and that comes with removing the boundaries that define the limits that bind us. Balance lets us see this freedom. ~Tao of the Ride~
