“I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world's otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.” (Blue Pastures, by Mary Oliver) - Photo©️Tif Holmes www.fromwildplaces.com • #fromwildplaces #landscapephotography #naturephotography #trail #mountainlandscape #colorado #coloradolandscapes #thecoloradotrail #backpacker #solviturambulando #landscapeoftheday #photooftheday #coloradorockies #backpackinglife #nature #earth #land #domaamdmonsterct #collegiatewest #cw04 #maryoliver https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5i2WrgW-Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14x331vvq7fpw

- “The last of the human freedoms: to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. And there were always choices to make. Every day, every hour, offered the opportunity to make a decision, a decision which determined whether you would or would not submit to those powers which threatened to rob you of your very self, your inner freedom; which determined whether or not you become the plaything to circumstance, renouncing freedom and dignity...” (Victor Frankl, Man's Search For Ultimate Meaning) - Photo©️Tif Holmes www.fromwildplaces.com . #fromwildplaces #landscape #westtexas #portraitofalandscape #nature #westtexaslandscape #igtexas #photooftheday #earth #naturephotography #livinglandscape #landscapephotography #westtexassky #westtexasphotography #land #sky #outdoorphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBLRmrApem/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fh1yrja6ttvt
