Before you go

Nature is not stressed out. Nature just is. It has no agenda. It doesn’t hatch plans, have some hidden agenda. It is pure and as fresh and new as it was on day one. The wind. The rain. The sun. The clouds. Just are. It has power when it has power and rests when it […]

You can feel it in the air

You can feel it in the air. You just know when it is present. It can’t be described except in terms that are so over used for all the wrong reasons but when it is present it makes you feel better again about our chances to get it right and tell a beautiful story of […]
