Filling the Well.

In order to eat healthy, we know it's important to restock our refrigerator with fresh produce on a regular basis. As creatives (we're all creatives, btw), it's equally important to fill our creative well. For some, this may mean gathering more clay or paints or other things to play with. It may mean building up a visual or photographic library to generate more ideas. But for me, it's always been taking deliberate time out in nature. Walking underneath a canopy of Redwoods as the rain gently falls on my face, smelling fresh air, and exploring new trails recalibrates my senses, recharges my soul, and recenters me.

Damnation Creek Trail, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park

Unfurling ferns. A subtle reminder that we are all still becoming, unfolding, and opening up into our fully-expressed selves. 

Little reminder from nature, sprinkled all along the trail. You are loved.

What are some ways this week that you can fill your own creative well?
