Many thoughts about about a young 16 year old female who is fighting. After two years of fighting her fight she has decided to stop. How do you make a choice to stop and let fate run its course?

.

The courage to face your end with humility, pride and peace.

.

This weekend as I listened intensely I reflect on myself. Some people say they get exhausted from my response of  "Today is AWESOME". I say "bunk". How can one complain? On this day challenge yourself to be present and be responsible for this time given to you. We all have issues so don't worry. As I was told Sunday.... "It was all good until life showed up".

.

Show compassion, love and understanding. Open your heart and take the risk of hurt. Find a passion now!

So I was thinking how funny that years ago I use the "coors" beer in a drawing. Later in life I move to the very place they make it. I crack myself up:)

A visual of my life thus far on earth. My feelings are that we are a source of energy that is constantly flowing. This is a never ending process.

.

The force of this energy we have hits many obstacles during its flow. How we deal with these things that interrupt the flow is what makes the journey so magnificent! If we fight the obstacles it becomes violent and turbulent. If we are able to accept the interruptions in our perfect path it can become very beautiful....our lives.

.

Finding new directions and working around what my seem impossible  we are able to enjoy and see the result. This is it!! Nature can guide you if you let it work.

.

Don't let your stream dry up!!

A perfect metaphor Dave. So appreciate the way your mind works and the gift you have of not only expressing it but also how you are able to capture just the right shot to tie it all in. You are on an amazing journey!

You've managed to visually capture the essence of life. We are Nature. We are energy that connects to all other things; transferring, repelling, and joining forces throughout our lives. Some of us are placid rivers, others raging white waters. Learning to understand our flow and how it impacts others and ourselves is the great lesson, one most people will never make the effort to fully realize. Truly beautiful and inspirational.

I was thrilled to be invited to this special place. In a confused world where I come from this is so different. To be so far from a road or hustle bustle. I have often wondered recently if I should just be removed from what I know. My conflict is am I running from something or entering where I should be in the first place. This place so reminds me of the day I met Heimen in Costa Rica. The simple life. Just to live a day to be able to let my soul run free was so relaxing.

.

Living how I do and attempting to get the visuals out is relentless:) When I am in a place like this it just flows from my head. I sit by myself and take these images but feel totally vunerable. I want to just keep walking until I find the answer. Once again I learned alot this weekend. Tonight is a long night as I post these images. They are so vivid to me. My passion to reproduce my emotions and feelings. Time keeps moving, what will I see next.

.

Am I living through others? Where am I:) I am in the images.....
