		<description>I love the vision of you in tshirt-barefoot paint on hands and shorter-wilder hair.

Darling this journey of finding ourselves and pouring all of our energy into being that can feel so lonely at times.

It is brave and hard at times to keep going. It is easy to feel a bit alone or lost on the path-or at least I think it is. This post brought up some memories and some more recent feelings into the spotlight.

I can comfort myself and offer it to you as well. We don&#039;t know what it will look like around us when we have pedaled hard enough and for long enough that we can raise our heads to take a look.

You are brave, talented and wonderful.

Love you
XOXOXO</description>

		<description>don&#039;t you sometimes feel you live on a different planet...with the other communities not really getting &#039;it&#039;..but have this yearning to go back...to what life was before you knew what you wanted to do...cause then everything was &#039;ok&#039;..the way it was meant to be? 

for me this is the grit today...i miss being just one of the community...without being different but great! 

the grit comes...and goes...like the ocean...paddling right next to you and loving you through every wave! xx</description>

		<description>ah yes the grit :) there is the grit, i know the grit and it comes in many forms though for me lately, it means tired and worn and not enough time to connect with my bloggy friends as there are only so many hours in the day and most are claimed already.

i think of you though ... much love beautiful, we are all in this together somehow i think even though there are times when it feels lonely.  xox</description>

		<description>What an amazing post and how deeply it resonates with me.  It is difficult for me to share the &quot;dark&quot; things along my journey.  People see only the bright things.  However what you wrote about is all apart of the journey and all apart of discovering  yourself...doing what you love...and figuring all of that out.  Thank you for being so open and posting this.  It touched my heart.  

And just to let you know I am off to SQUAM and in my pocket is one of your magical rocks with the word &quot;wings&quot; on it.  It is giving me strength to put myself out there and embark on this adventure.  

Thank you for all of your inspiration, openess, honesty, and wonderful photos.  I am so glad I found you on this online community.</description>
