Among the Trees

“We depend on nature not only for our physical survival.

We also need nature to show us the way home..."

~Eckhart Tolle

(The first two images were the boy's Grandma's vision. She is a seriously incredible woman, and I am so blessed to spend my days learning from all of these amazing souls.)

Real + Enduring

When we finally have touched upon a spiritual high that is real and enduring,

then we know that the pain of getting there was worth it,

and the years ahead will never be as lonely.

7:04-8:07pm

These simple moments

the way they hold hands without even realizing it as they read together before bed

are everything.

We are guests in their home, and tonight I had to stop and collect these tiny pockets of life with my camera because my heart was aching from how beautiful it all is.

Everything.
