Wanderlust

My partner and I love to have adventures.  Nothing too extreme, just the type of adventures that you jump in your car and drive for a while to a predetermined or completely new place and explore.  Often we find newness in places well travelled and will continue to go back to revisit through new eyes and seasons.  

Today was no exception. With the leaves, for the majority, on the ground, the starkness of the landscape along the small but vibrant colour that remained made for some stunning vistas.  But in the details is where I find the most beauty.  

Tonight, as I edited these images, the film The Secret Path was streaming.  This was a creative documentary done with collaboration from Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip which outlined the experience of a child through the residential school system in Canada.  It is interesting how in a moment, your perspective changes.  You seem to not really see what you were doing with the same lens as a moment before.  

What I want to leave this post with is simply this; beauty can be found in healing.  Beauty can be found in the wreckage.  We can grow from our darkest moments. Find beauty, reach out, be kind to one another.
