Our destination on this cross country road trip- the always evergreen, Washington state. Oh this place.. what a long journey to finally move my life here. You see, a long time ago this state presented itself to me. In dreams, in visions, in love. It showed me where my next (and mostly permanent) home would be. For the past 2 and a half years I have moved from city to city, state to state. Never staying in one place for more than a few weeks, or a couple of months. So to finally arrive some place where I felt I could build a more stable life, build more grounded and rooted job opportunities, and exploration- was such a huge blessing. Our first pit stop in this state was of course, no surprise here, The Olympic Peninsula. I swear I talk about that place more than anything else. It was the most beautiful day for this type of adventure, perfect Spring time welcoming in to my new home, with wide open mountains and beaches and canyons as arms.
Before we arrived, my love surprised me with a quick stop at a random beach spot. We joined another group of people to ride beautiful mystical horses down through the sand dunes towards the beach. It was such a movie moment, I had never experienced something so blissful. My horse was a sweet girl that gave me no trouble, until a brief moment by the water where all the horses got REALLY excited and began running around and jumping like crazy haha, but luckily they warned us of this ahead of time so we just held on really tight and enjoyed the wild ride! It was freedom- to me, and especially to that horse. No longer in its corral waiting for the next group of people, but free on an expansive beach with a bunch of its other horse friends/family. This positive energy flowed from each and every one of them into each and every one of us, surrounding us with light and laughter.
Look at Mother Earth's frikin yoni! Don't ever doubt her feminine power and imprint on every inch of this land. You see an opening to view another part of the beach, I see a magical yoni opening up to another dimension. Perspective people! There is so many different natural "feminine" aspects to this world plastered all over mountain sides and canyon bowls.
What did I tell you 'bout them magical and wise Washington sea stacks? Total heart eyes, and these are just from Ruby Beach found in Forks, Washington. I want more people to know about Forks and La Push due to its beauty and ancient power. Not because of Twilight, but I understand the whole perfect setting thing. Anyways. Exploring these guys was such a trip, pictures make them look so small but standing next to it is SUCH a great way to gain perspective. These pieces of rock are giants, gradually breaking off from the beaches' mountain side throughout the years, going into the sea. If there isn't any sea life using its surface as a home, they're great for providing a lovely view of the beach before you if you dare climb on them to their peaks.
My love pretty much climbed up every possible tree he could find. Even if it was a sun bleached old driftwood tree that perched itself ever so perfectly to the side of this mountain.
Every time we found an awesome driftwood fort in the making, we felt compelled to add more pieces. You'll be amazed at some of the structures people envision for these little castles.
The Hanging Tree of Life, a crazy sight to see. There is close to nothing supporting this tree as it has a deep washed out bowl underneath it, yet it manages to hang on and continue living.
When we left Ruby Beach we were making our way towards our new home, stopping at another beach closer by to watch the sunset and medicate.
An absolutely breath taking way to end an adventure filled day. Not gonna lie, I was exhausted. We had been on the road for about a week, we showered twice that whole time, ate mostly fruit, slept in my car, and I'd drive anywhere from 12-15 hours straight to get us to our next pit stop. I know it doesn't sound luxurious, but it is my favorite way to travel. Raw, unfiltered, impulsive, wild and free. Having no sense of time, no sense of direction (half of the time anyways) and no need to be anywhere, to do anything. Just living moment by moment enjoying the journey. Stopping whenever we felt like it, doing whatever we wanted.
