Coastline & Redwoods Pt. 1

The first semester at my new university was the most stressful I had ever been. With the new environment, moving out of my parent's house and trying to keep up with the academics I felt my sanity slowly slipping away. It's strange but during this period I found myself having this constant internal pull towards nature. Little things such as seeing the sunlight shine through the trees as I walked towards campus, or admiring blooming flowers from the Library's window played a part in my endurance and inspired me to act on these frustrations. And so, that is how this trip to Northern California began. 

The one that got away!

Ephemeral

Something about this time of day that sends my spirit into overdrive. It isn't twilight or dusk but the time when the sun subtly announces to the world that she will soon take leave. Her colors warm the sky and light beautifies the landscape. Its such a magical time of day and I appreciate every moment of it. At this time I am able to fully embrace the sun's rays and let them charge my whole body. Maybe this has to do with my new appreciation for meditation but I certainly perceive and feel things in a whole different light. Remember to always breath and to get in touch with yourself and the nature around you.

The retreat I went on last weekend was everything I needed. The mountains, fresh air, and greenery was the perfect cure for the anxiety I'd been having for the past few weeks. I finally felt at peace and most importantly able to grasp a feeling of what I had been lacking spiritually. One evening, when everyone was participating in activities I decided to wander off into the forest. It was truly the happiest I had been in a while. I listened to the creek babbling, the wind stirring the trees, and just opened my eyes to the wonders around me.
