It may sound ridiculous to say, but wherever and whenever I travel, I find symbols of my inner journey, the personal transit that extends beyond airline tickets, overstuffed luggage, and souvenir shops. And it’s often not until I arrive home to look at the images within my camera, that I see the patterns.
Am I imprinting meaning where none inherently exists? Does it matter?
Whether inherent or imposed, the imagining of a pattern changes me and the pattern becomes true.
The following are a selection of images from my travels last year through British Columbia, a break before I began on the next great journey of my life, and one I take alone.
-
- I break for the surface, avoiding the pitfalls and traps of my past (Hope)
-
- And initiate a journey, the destiny of which I cannot see (Brandywine Falls)
-
- I search for something in which to believe, a home for my soul (Tofino)
-
- A place to rest my head if only for a short while (Hope)
-
- I cannot not stay for long but must ascend the mountain (Tofino)
-
- Must break my tenacious grip on the past (Mt. Baker, WA)
-
- To make my mark in the universe (Tofino)
-
- And prepare space for future growth (Port Refrew)
