Rabbits, Gramma, and Choosing Your Adventure

On living

“But I feel lost,” said rabbit. “How will I ever find my way?”

“Sometimes,” replied bird, “you need to dig in the dirt to find the stars.”

Thoughts while making...

“I think you handled my dying with great tact,” she wrote.

It was July.

And she was clearly not dead.

“Always remember that when I die,” my grandmother shared with me, “I will not mind because I have had, and still do have, a full life.”

“Your mother and I have always been friends, not just mother and daughter,” she continued in her beautiful handwritten script.

“All of you have been there for me in my good (and bad) moments.”

“I consider myself to be a very lucky person, having all of you and my dearest Timothy,” she explained. “No one can explain how wonderful he has been to me.”

My grandmother knew how to dig in the dirt.

At 82, she wrote: “We have been going gambling out at the Pechanga Reservation. The first time we went, we lost $40. The second time $20 and the last time $7.”

And she knew how to find stars: “We are getting better, anyway.”

The couple who commissioned Cascadia Blue also know how to dig in the dirt … and they’re definitely finding stars.

On their @howweadventure site + blog (which you should totally check out), they write:

“2020 has given us all unexpected time.

Time to reflect on our way of living, our values and what we stand for, our social networks and support systems, our priorities and where we go from here.”

Of the adventures they capture in words and stunning images, they invite: “We hope you get inspired to try something adventurous close to home or, when we’re back to jetting around the world, somewhere distant you’ve always wanted to go!”

Thanks Ed and @ready.setzer.go – I totally agree!

What dirt can you dig up (and in) today?
