A place where healing and creativity meet. Just as the mountains meet the sea, in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Live simply. Love deeply. Be present.
I see you there, all alone.
You may feel broken, but you are mostly whole.
You have traveled so far, just to land right here.
There is beauty in your simplicity.
A delicate elegance in how you are just simply here.
You seek nothing, yet you have a all you need.
A life of solitude.
A life of peace.
You have done well.
You are more than just a simple shell.

It came at us like a wave, full of passion, full of life.
There was a fire inside of us.
A burning flame, one that not even a wave could wash away.
With each wave from life, , it would just reignite.
A fire so bright, not even time could dim.
If the waves carry us away, back to each other we will always swim.
A flame in the wave of life, that is what we are.
Life has kept us apart, though we won’t always be so far away.
Only time will show us what will be left, as we have to accept life and let go.
Only time will show us, if this flame is able to grow, while we have to stay apart, for a little while longer.
No matter how long, no matter the distance, we won’t ever truly be apart.
I’ll be here waiting, keeping the fire burning in my heart.

This lake is a magical lake.
The waters heal you.
The sunsets will astonish you.
Lake Crescent is not just a simple lake.
To know her beauty, you must feel her healing.
Summertime is, seemingly, the best time of year to capture her magic, but all year round she will be carrying on…
So many come to see her.
Once they do, they are mesmerized.
With ducks, docks and a shore full of soft rocks, you can be certain to find your favorite spot.
Lake Crescent Lodge is most certainly divine, with luxury dining and quaint little cabins, you will find many ways to pass the time.
There is so much room to roam, plus immaculate sights to see this beautiful lake, from multiple points of view.
If you walk along the forest line, you will find many trails to explore.
These lead you to some of the oldest trees in the state of Washington, or so I have been told, some are over five-hundred years old.
If you’re reading this and need a new place to explore, Port Angeles, WA has this stunning beauty, who’s shores you might enjoy taking some time to explore.
Plus you might even discover the magic of this beautiful lake, that has so many perplexed about.
Either way, hopefully you do get out and find somewhere new to explore.
Nature is magical, no matter where you are.

Life has worn out your rough edges.
You’ve been tossed around, now you can’t help but be smooth and still.
You are softer than you once were.
What you are is beautiful.
You always have been.
Overtime, our true nature starts to show.
When life has taken us down to our core, all we can do is be who and what we are.
We are bent and molded into how we need to be for our life.
You lay there with support from all sides.
You have finally found a place to rest.
You deserve it.
Life looks good on you.
Weathered.
Natural.
Real.
Raw.
-M.
You have been crippled, blocked by your fears.
There seems to be no way out.
All you can see is more that keeps you trapped in fear.
There may be a tall cast iron gate, and a barbed wire fence, but look at what is beyond.
There is a life that you desire, a peace that you deserve, a place where you belong.
Behind these bars of fear is not safe, is what you say.
There is so much out there, beyond this gate.
Look at the sun.
It has to continue to push beyond…
Beyond the sky, beyond the sea,
Beyond the darkness and what it cannot see.
You must, too,
You must push through…
Beyond the fears that keep you trapped here.
Find your way around that gate, for there is always a path from behind the gate of fear.
-M.
You have deep scars that not many can see, but you show them all to me.
Many of my scars are showing, but I have others, others that are much deeper, that only you can see.
You try to protect me, as you block the winds and the waves from reaching my open surface.
You carry the weight of so many, as people walk on you so that they can look inside of me, like my wounds are open just for that very purpose.
You seldom leave my side, when the winds blow or someone rolls us apart, you always find a way back to my side.
Nature brought us here, to finish out this life together.
We were both once deeply rooted trees, now here we are, on this shore, waiting for the tides to take us away once more.
-M.
Play with me in the water,
Lay with me by the sea.
Let’s walk on the sand and wait for the waves, as the tide to comes in.
The sun will set and the air will grow colder,
But when your with me, the cold will not matter.
We will walk hand in hand,
Watching out for crabs in the sand.
We will collect rocks and shells,
There will be so many that our pockets will overfill.
We can pack a picnic and feed the the leftovers to the seagulls,
When you are with me, the days will never, so we can just walk the sandy beaches forever, at peace, hand in hand.
-M.
I’ve been walking for a long time – trying to find you.
I’d continue on, barefoot, waiting and searching, just to be with you.
So many miles, so many hills, I’ve searched.
There were many mountains I didn’t think I could climb.
When I found the summits, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
You were there, always with me.
I felt your presence, though it was not always so easy.
Winds tried to knock me down.
Storms blew by and I’d fall down, not sure if I could keep climbing up the hills.
Though, I knew one day I would find you.
I knew one day, we would meet.
I knew one day it would be easier.
One day it would all come together.
– M.
Walking forward has always been challenging.
Not knowing what to expect, what was supposed to be.
Each corner seemed to have more darkness that overtook the light.
Each road seemed to have more bumps than just simply easy driving.
Then you came.
There was still so much fog, but now I could see.
There was so much fear, but I knew what would be.
Everything felt different, I felt it was destiny.
The fog was there to keep us trusting.
The fog stays there to keep us focusing.
Tomorrow will come, but today we must believe.
There is so much more than just this pain that we have been feeling.
There is so much more light than the darkness that made it hard for each of us to see.
Now we must just keep believing.
The fog will help us see, but its through the trust that we will see.
Trust that all this peace is meant to be.
-M.
I waited for you, then I decided to search for you.
For years I looked.
For years I tried.
I finally found you, but it wasn’t the right time.
You wanted to come to me, but you just weren’t quite ready.
Its okay.
I will wait for you.
I can keep waiting, until the time is right, until you are ready.
Until then, I will be watching the sunrise and set, walking along the beaches, feeling the breeze, wishing you were here with me.
Until we meet again, I will hold you dearly, in my memory.
-M.
