Edinburgh, 2024
I sat in the hostel most of the day and ate til I couldn’t move, but when I DID move, I was utterly delighted.
Indian Peaks Wilderness, CO
I’m nostalgic for a childhood I never had…anyway here’s what I did this weekend

Leaf that’s green,earth and air,
Protect me, forest fair.
Darkness, devil, death and fear
Get thee gone from here

“Enchanted worlds still exist because the child within us never dies. The doorways may be more obscure, but we can still seek them out. There are still noble adventures to undertake. There are still trees that speak and caverns that lead to nether realms. There will always be faeries and elves within nature because they will always be dancing in our hearts”

Tiny mushrooms, an acorn, and lichen amongst a blanket of moss covering the forest floor.
