Eternal Sunshine of The Anxious Mind

Eternal Sunshine of The Anxious Mind - Painted Desert, AZ

This was a special moment I captured in the Painted Desert between the sun and the storms on the horizon. The poem below inspired by the beautiful search of home I felt while traveling only to realize coming home meant the journey back to myself.

Don’t worry if your heart gets heavy 

Just like the moon we all have phases.

And if you need to rest, please don’t hurry.

Move like The Hermit.

You light the first few steps

You need to see. 

Try to not let the how or why

Weigh on you.

You don’t need to have it all

Figured out.

Let the questions fuel you

Along your path to the unknown.

The more you try to understand

The less you’ll feel at home 

And the more that feels like peace. 

To be able to question everything.

No more desire to be correct. 

But to keep searching 

To listen to what feels right 

To hear your voice in the dead of the night 

Calling you back home 

Calling you back

Calling you home 

Calling you

Calling...
