As one

The water falls-fast and fierce. 
It then quickly calms 
inviting the fisherman in and calling him to be nurtured by the blue.

The water cuts a swath of renewal through the rugged terrain forcing us to be aware of the whole scene, not just its parts.  We must follow the image as one landscape flows into the other.  Everything is necessary, each part needs the other

Bliss

I woke up early to meet up with some other travelers.  We braved the gusting winds and made our way to the main highway leaving Reykjavik in order to hitchhike to the Golden Circle, a nearby lake.  We waited for nearly an hour and no one stopped for us.  Eventually, sick of the wind smacking us across the face and trying to steal our hats, we gave up.  We decided to take a bus to the nearest town and to walk from there…after all Iceland is small, right?  After a short ride, we stepped off the bus and found the trail.  It soon became clear that it was anything but a short hike to the Golden Circle.  Instead, we decided to make our way up a mountain that jutted out of the nearby horizon.  We steadily made our way up the mountain, until suddenly we were at the top.  The view that greeted us at the top was a breathtaking as the powerful gust of wind hit me in the chest.  We spent the next few hours relaxing on the mountain top, watching the clouds sail by, and listing to nature's midday rush.
 Bliss.

ride the wave


Looking out on to the sea of Galilee,  
The seemingly small waves crash into the beach, i fell in love with the landscape of the bush like trees growing in the sea.  The contrast was so unique, the waves had such attitude, the sun was soon to set.
