A long hard hike to make sure I had time to work on myself. Inflict physical pain enough I had no choice but to still my mind, and let my thoughts process with out me guiding them around. I hope tomorrow has another difficult hike in store, I need more nature therapy :).
Flag Rock Trail – Long and Difficult Work
Random Hike, Missing Person, I Needed This
Just a rambling of thoughts, thinking out loud, textualizing ideas, and clarifying my thought process.
Whoa (N)ALLY What Do I Do?
This hike was quite a bit different than my normal hikes. Tonight I wasn’t in my head, working through an issue I was dealing with, guilt I was working on forgiving myself for, and I wasn’t hiking to get a circular thought out of my mind. Tonight, I was thinking about being in the dating world again. The people I’ve […]
Hell Canyon – Not Really A Canyon
Weird little hike, great views, non-existent canyon, and great wind, rain, and cool temps.
Avenues Street Festival
Couple hours at a street fair. Lots of people watching, and some fun weather.
Dug Deep, Pushed Through, That Sucked
Hard hike to clean out the bull shit that seems to build up in my mind every few days.
Up, Down, Up Again
Night photography, thinking about my friend and her cousin, and wondering why I’m up, I’m down, I’m up again.
21st Street Pond, “Stagnant” or “Part of the Journey”?
Short walk around a pond on the outskirts of the city. Never far from the sounds of the highway, trains blowing their horns, and homeless residue scattered here and there.
Father Son, a Shitty Lens, and Bonding
I had to hold back tears writing this one. Even though it’s not much on the surface, there is a lot today that sits deep inside me. Pride, worry, loneliness, pain, and sadness.
Operant Conditioning and Me
A new tool, new way to see where I came from, some rambling, a message to a friend, and a message to people in general.
I hurt, and I know a little more why and how. Just don’t know how to heal from it all yet (but I’m working on it).
Nice Trail, Kind of a Weird Head Space
Burtch Creek Trail .. Nice hike, too much thinking, and a few really nice pictures.
Special Delivery, and a Beautiful Hike
Went on an unexpected hike, met some wonderful people, got to pet a bunch of dogs, and found that I am okay with missing the occasional sunset.
No Hike Today, but IT LIVES!
My life line has risen from the dead!
So happy, so excited, and so ready to kick this journey back in high gear. Rebuilding all parts of me, getting re-introduced to friends and family, and doing instead of saying for the now, not the past.
What a Wonderful Place to Be
Very pleasant hike (physically taxing, in all the good ways). Introspective, positive, and a nice feeling coming out of it.
Selfies, Goofing Around, and Processing
A few goofy selfies, more flowers and bugs, lots of rambling about myself, and more self work in the books.
Sometimes Thoughts Make Stories
Feels like a Debby downer post, but it really isn’t. I healed a little more today, had a beautiful experience, and cant’ wait to go out again.
Gib’s Trail – The Mind Wonders
Lots of thinking, walking, and enjoying. Very nice start to my weekend. Being in the moment, purposely, and keeping the thoughts under scrutiny.
Walkin’ 25th Street
Fighting anxiety, couldn’t hike, so I walked 25th street again.
Everything Looks Shinny When it Rains
It’s funny what you’ll do to escape your thoughts. A rainy trail, wet camera, foggy glasses, and a clear(er) mind.
