Good Vibrations⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Life is funny - you tend to find what you are looking for. If you are looking for the bad things in life, you will find it. If you search for the good things, then that is what you will find. Do not be controlled by your circumstances - make your own story.⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ • #exploremore #worldtraveler #globetrotter #seetheworld #getoutside #optoutside #letsgosomewhere #traveltheworld #travellife #stayandwander #rei1440project #keepitwild #theoutbound #getoutstayout #worldtravel #welltravelled #travelstoke #finditliveit #outdoors #hiking #worldtravelpics #italytravel #traveler #travelblog #traveladdict #liveoutdoors #campvibes #travelphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Zi00MB1Jl/?igshid=p23a575iak3x

Wreathed Walls⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ Trust. Communication.. Empathy These are the only effective tools we have to break-down the walls of ignorance which surround us. We are far more effective together than we are apart - no matter how 'good' a wall may seem.⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0R4sBIBhaU/?igshid=u16tjloa973m

Shine On • • • • • I visited the Sea Lion Caves with @cdblayton several weeks ago on a moody Saturday afternoon. The lighthouse in the background may look fragile and insignificant, but it has saved hundreds of lives by warning those at sea of the treacherous rocks at its base. So, no matter how small you may feel, you never know who may be depending on your light to find their way home. • • • • • #exploremore #pnwonderland #letsgosomewhere #optoutside #lighthouse #pnw #phare #faro #getoutside #rei1440project #travelstoke #stayandwander #upperleftusa #keepitwild #theoutbound #mytinyatlas #getoutstayout #oregon #fyrtårn #thatpnwlife #lonelyplanet #pacificnorthwest #welltravelled #finditliveit #greatnorthcollective #pnwcollective #pdx #kiro7 #k5summer (at Sea Lion Caves) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1j8E4BVKm/?igshid=1qvort2ldoro

I wish to be as a river. Ever present, ever changing, ever on the move. ⠀ ⠀ Over time, a river matures, widening and deepening as it flows through the land. Rivers change, some seasons they burst their banks, other times they dry into an arid riverbed. ⠀ ⠀ Will I, like a river, allow myself to be dammed up by others, only to flow where they want? Or will I be forced into a canal for their purpose? Or, will I flow freely, coursing my way through the land, forging my own narrative, babbling all the way? -- Loosely derived from Aidan Chambers #TheAdventuresOfADude (at Leavenworth, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqobV_gcbn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b7smhzetxa0v

There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties.⠀ ⠀ - Douglas Adams (at Seafair Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgmR4OlZoZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12k6puvnzask6

The Grey⠀ -------------------------⠀ The winters here in the PNW can be hard, but it can be beautiful once you accept the bleak and grey, she can be quite beautiful. I'm recommending a fantastic song by Tennyson.

A war of ideas can no more be won without books than a naval war can be won without ships. Books, like ships, have the toughest armor, the longest cruising range, and mount the most powerful guns.⠀ - F.D.R.⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude (at San Francisco, California)

Goals are interesting. We might see where we want to go, but not how to get there. People who have been there will always provide more vision and direction than a map.⠀⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude

One should not wait for perfection before starting. Instead, one should expect to fail, but to fail quickly. After all, the most important part of any journey, is choosing to start. ⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude (at Chelan, Washington)

Who we spend our time with the most will define who we are. So choose wisely - choose those who will bear you up towards your destiny 🚡⠀ #TheAdventuresOfADude (at Stevens Pass Mountain Resort)

When we strike a balance between the challenge of an activity and our skill at performing it, when the rhythm of the work itself feels in sync with our pulse, when we know that what we're doing matters, we can get totally absorbed in our task. That is happiness.⠀ #TheAdventuresOfaDude (at Deception Pass Park)

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance⠀ -Alan Watts⠀ #TheAdventuresOfTheDude (at Puget Sound)
