I was able to go on an amazing trip this weekend. I got home just a few hours ago and can't do anything until I sit and write and express some of the feelings in my heart. I went to LaPush with Adriane, Pam, Alana and Ciara and the five of us had an amazing time.
Niko, Ferg, Alana, Ciara, Pam and Me
Niko, Ferg, Alana, Ciara, Pam and MeYesterday I was on the beach by myself. I started a fire and took a little nap and then I just wrote. Wrote and wrote. I'll share a little...
"My hand can't move fast enough. Even if it could it would be impossible to write what I'm feeling. Peace, happiness, whole, calm-calm but ready to burst. Everything makes sense but nothing matters-nothing except that I'm alive!"
"I'm in La Push, WA-perhaps one of the worlds best kept secrets. I don't want to look down at this paper because it is the beauty I see that inspires my soul. But I can't not write-in fear that I may forget this moment."
"Everything about my complicated life seems so simple. Everything seems simple. And when I think about how just the day before yesterday I thought my life was complicated I look inside myself and giggle a bit and call myself dramatic."
"I don't have my cell phone and haven't wanted it. I don't have my computer and haven't wanted it. I don't know what time it is and I haven't cared. It's great and simple and beautiful. I wonder why I view simpleness as beauty. But I do. Yesterday we were eating tin foil dinners with our fingers and I thought it was beautiful. Ferg didn't want to shower because sometimes she likes getting dirty and smelling like fire and I thought that was beautiful. We all just hung out and did what we wanted when we wanted and that was the most beautiful of all."
"What is it about the earth that speaks to me? I've never been in a crowded place and had this kind of moment. But when I am on the front row of God's most awesome creation I am blown away and taken to areas of myself that I absolutely love and some that I am introduced to for the first time. It makes me giddy."
"My heart and my soul and my entire self are rejuvenated. Not only am I in an absolutely beautiful physical place-perhaps one of the prettiest places I have ever seen-I am in an amazing mental place. AND I am with people who motivate and inspire me. The combination of the three makes for a perfect weekend. I needed this. I have already laughed so hard that I've cried-more than once. I am in my element-in the mountains, by a fire, away from the complicated thing we call life. I am with the best part of myself. I'm in my paradise."
Okay, it's me again. And I'm at home...and I am giggling to myself thinking about the weekend...Here are some pictures.

Second Beach
Ferg being like a superhero
By the camp fire...my heaven. I could stare at a fire for hours...and I did!!
One of my favorite things about Washington is the cloud formations...
Third Beach-and my favorite picture from the trip
We found this on the tree. Perfect for the end of the trip!

Hope you said hi to Jacob for me.
Looks like you had a FANTASTIC time... but not as fantastic as this weekend will be!
wow. that place looks insanely cool. lapush huh? isn't that where those twilight books are about? (i just watched it with my mom-- and was super close to cutting myself...)
Hey sister. Just so you know, that was not your first ferry ride!! You road a ferry in NY when we went past the statue of Liberty!!! Other then that, your weekend looked amazing! I want to go
that looks like so much fun and so beautiful! I ask myself if I had to choose mountains or ocean, which would I choose? I'd choose ocean, but looks like you don't have to in Washington! Lucky
Wow, that was an amazing post. Your writing is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your thoughts....
