One day...

One day I went snowboarding/skiing with a beautiful woman named Kristin.

We saw many sights that left us in awe... That is to say... They were awesome!

The next day I went to the river. I climbed some rocks and enjoyed the solar energy from the sun. My cold bones and mind were eased by the warmth of the sun. My toes remained a little cold.

.Warmth.

Winter has hit us full force her in Bend. Proof lies in the 1 1/2 feet of snow in our backyard, the four foot icicles hanging from our gutters, and ice that builds on my facial hair as I am sleeping. See for yourself.

Winter isn't completely cold and dreary. There are still amazing sunsets to ignite wonder.

Tea houses to fill the belly with warmth.

Friends and music to fill the heart with joy.

My body hurts from skiing. I just had a thought. "there are only two seasons. The skiing season and the kiteboarding season."

Mountain!

For those faithful few friends/family.

I worked a fair bit over Christmas break and earned myself enough money to buy a new digital camera.

I have been working two jobs and working through my last term of school. It is looking pretty good to be completely done with school work here in Bend by the end of March!

I have been reunited with the mountains by working up at Mt. Bachelor. I have been able to snowboard and recently have been skiing more than snowboarding. It has been pretty amazing to be back up in the mountains. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the vast and trecherous landscape of the mountains.

Above are some photos for your enjoyment. My friends Jon, Allan and I enjoyed the sunshine. Don't let the expressions on my face deceive you, I was loving life.

Sometimes it wells up within me...

-Wow-

I guess I forgot what it is like to not sleep enough.

But still I don't do much to make up for it.

It is 1:45 and I am still awake.

I am driven by this desire to write and document what is happening in my life as of recently.

Above is a photo of almost everyone who is living at the Goodness Collective.

This photo just represents spring and the changing of seasons.

The beautiful power of the earth.

The Spirit knows when to change the air from cold to warm.

I am at the will of the Spirit.

The elements are a part of my life.

I have recently felt this.

Above we are longboarding, having fun, and finding anyway possible to not drive a car.

Standing on the edge of a cliff.

About to jump into something big.

I have no idea what is in the water below.

I know it is going to be hard at first.

Adjusting.

Brent, Josh, and I.

Brent passes through Bend on his way to Texas.

Looking at this photo makes me smile.

Checking in with myself.

Are we all good inside there?

Blot clot still intact?

Climbing orange.

Finally I was allowed to be off my blood thinners and guess where I went...

I feel kinda vain and selfish.

This is all about me.

Something about this photo really does it for me.

My eyes are heavier than a ten pound hammer.

Sleep is next.

I hope to remember some dreams.
