Coastal redwoods in northern California


I went for a hike this morning in the midst of these incredibly tall and wide coastal redwood trees. What an awesome sight. And what I was caught up in was: will the car and all my camera equipment be safe? Since it was raining I didn’t want to bring it with me. After some time the thought came to me: trust spirit/God and enjoy the path. That is such a metaphor for me in my life. I spend so much wasted time on worrying about the “how” instead of just focusing on the “what”; i.e., what I want. In this case, what I wanted was for the car to be safe. I totally don’t have any control over how it’s going to stay safe while I’m on my hike. All I can do is set an intention and trust. Then I can enjoy the path I am on. When I set an intention on some thing or situation I want and then become afraid of it not happening, I am changing my focus to what I don’t want and inevitably attracting more of that; attracting more of what I don’t want. It’s the law of attraction. I have always experienced this in my life. How easy it is to attract what we want if we would only stay focused on it and then take action. I am committed to trusting more in my life.

David Jay at Brooks Institute

I'm doing an awesome course this weekend with David Jay at the Brooks Institute. He's such an inspiration for me to be the best photographer I can be. I've learned so much today and there's still one day left.
