I am humbled by the lives that people lived in days long gone. What is my mountain in comparison to their daily toil? (at Mackay, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChBL1O7Mzyl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Overnight frost in California in June. Sunrise. Fog. A new day dawns on a new beginning. * * * * * #spilledthoughts #frosty #foggy #hikersofinstagram #hiker (at Tahoe National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJu9rVJAuU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cali wildflowers are so abundant! They sort of take me to another dimension. 💗💖💗 * Reminds me of a song I've listened to a lot the last couple of years. It speaks to my path of personal growth. * "The hills were alive with wildflowers And I was as wild, even wilder than they For at least I could run, they just died in the sun And I refused to just wither in place Just a wild mountain rose needing freedom to grow So I ran fearing not where I'd go When a flower grows wild, it can always survive Wildflowers don't care where they grow" @dollyparton * * * * * #Tahoe #wildflowers #selfgrowth #natureloversgallery #lovefornature #nature #gaia #5d #raiseyourvibration #instagood #heartvibes #souljourney (at Tahoe National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CerBxwrlHHg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What goes up...must come down. * And came down with quite a bit of anxiety I might add... * BUT it didn't drive me to drinking. Lol * New choice point - is it a distraction or is it enrichment? * * * * * #mountaindriving #genekey56 #writersoninstagram #readstagram #spilledthoughts #igblogger #raiseyourvibration #instagood #heartvibes #enrichment #thinkdifferently #bethechange (at Angel Lake Campground) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeeaPacvN4B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Puppies are often mentioned to be unconditionally loving. I believe is typically only with significant abuse or conditioning that we alter their behavior, by instilling fear or training for attack. * What's less talked about is their gift for equanimity. A puppy will not only love you unconditionally, it will love anyone unconditionally. * As children, we were once the same. We didn't see color. We didn't recognize social status or economic status. It was more like....do you want to play hide and seek with me? Okay! Let's go! * What abuse or conditioning walled up the love inside of our hearts and made us so suspicious of people we don't even know? * Are we really better off with our guard up? Or is it doing more harm than good, by keeping more love and connection out of our lives, and out of our species as a whole, than we would otherwise have if our guard was down? * 💚Heart this post if this resonates with you, because it helps spread the inquiry in the world. If we want things to be different, then we need to think differently. * * * * Photo by Jamie Street on @Unsplash * #dog #spiritanimal #genekey37 #writersoninstagram #readstagram #spilledthoughts #raiseyourvibration #instagood #heartvibes #unity #equality #equanimity #thinkdifferently #bethechange https://www.instagram.com/p/CebbJdklZKo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm not a superfan of overnighting in parking lots, but Cabelas' roses totally blissed me out for a moment this morning. 💗 * Thanks for the free stay @cabelas * * * * * #bliss #presentmoment #littlethingsinlife #nomadlife #appreciationpost (at Farmington, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUAhiPJ8J8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The intoxicating beauty of what's left of our natural world replenishes my spirit when the fear of an uncertain future gets to me. * Is any future certain? * Funny, how I once clung so tightly to just the semblance of certainty. * And still, I can't say that I'm used to the uncertainty. * Surrender is a strength that requires training. * * * * * #fear #uncertainty #surrender #aspiration #ascension #emotionalfreedom #transforming #bethechange #leapoffaith #followyourheart #natureloversgallery #personalgrowth #vibratehigher (at Capital Reef Canyon.
