Standing Stones

October 12th, 2009

What a view! I decided to visit a common stomping ground for me in Snoqualmie Falls. The fall is why many decide to call the northwest home. With the changing of colors and crisp cool air, it seems many feel invigorated by the change of seasons.

A "Watch"ful Day

January 15th, 2009

On my way out the door yesterday morning I ran to put my watch on and inspiration struck me. As soon I walked through the door after work, the re-creation was upon me in an attempt to see exactly what I was looking at when hurriedly I rushed into the room.

To Build My Fire

May 18th, 2008

A fire can have a strangely entrancing effect on the spirit and mind. If you have ever been privileged to have a bonfire or take a climb deep into the forest, you have undoubtedly been privy to the experience of losing yourself in the chaotically orchestrated dance of firelight. Somehow, the deep glowing embers call out to use, to use it, them, as a gateway inside ourselves.

Its as if this moment in time is paused, and you are able to not only glance but separate your life out, find meaning, if only for the next day, and embark on your journey. It can take you back to the "glory"days, transport you forward to a log cabin somewhere as you hear your grandchildren playing outside, whatever "that" moment is.

Fire, without question, has a soothing effect on us all.
