an image & a thought

chicago | noticed.

mt. diablo | a peak & a friend.

i was desperate to go camping, antsy to get out, and relieved when i finally did. sorrel and i went up to mt. diablo for an overnight on 1/15-1/16, froze when it dropped below freezing, and ate chips & mango salsa for dinner and breakfast. lol. we also had a bandit come steal much of our deliciousness, including dehydrated persimmons! rar. 

looks like elephant feet, right?

the basics | bow drill.

getting back to the basics.
my friends sorrel & abel taught me how to use a bow drill. well, it was more like all three of us worked on making the tiniest little flame - if you want to call it that. it. was. awesome. 

quote | being simple

The individual who is simple, who accepts themselves as they are, makes only a minimum demand on others in their relations with them. Their simplicity not only endows their own personality with unique beauty; it is also an act of love. This is an example of the truth that whatever sanctifies our own soul does, at the same time, benefit everyone who comes into our life.
