The Muddy Dance

Amateur Kayaking, Amateur video making, soulful living... Time on the river is my method for positive mental health, and lord knows I need it right now...The river reminds to go with the flow of life like it's a dance. When my mind is anxious it's harder for me to step out of my comfort zone, but the river reminds me it's ok to walk around something that scares you, it's ok to just observe it and keep going. Most importantly the river reminds me to play with life and seek out the things that delight me, and thus enlighten me...

Discovering the Muddy Creek in Pennsylvania was heaven sent. What a magical place, tucked behind the cornfields of Amish country and stemming into the mighty Susquehanna is a very speciall little place.  

Exploring favorite places of your friends is also good medicine. There's a unique resonance to hanging out in a place you know someone has cherished since childhood. From playing on the river to existential chats in a dreamy tree house , my love for this keystone state in which my ancestors hail from is thoroughly quenched. 

Positve ions for days, love is kind and love is simple...
