Horsetail Firefall (via Wiggum03)
“Horsetail Falls is a small seasonal waterfall that only appears in late winter and early spring. It flows over the east side of El Capitan, so as a backdrop it has one of the most impressive walls of granite in the entire park. Then – only for part of February, and only when the sky is clear – the very last sunrays of the day selectively linger on the falls, lighting it up with a golden glow that makes the water look like lava.”

One of these days I’ll get to Yosemite.

Beautiful.

It's more than habitual.

I caught myself this morning holding a nifty pyramid teabag containing PG Tips tea over a cup next to some boiling water. You see, I’ve been making a cup of tea for this British man every morning for the past several weeks. However, he’s not here today, he’s away, and so no one is going to drink it. I put the teabag back in the box and used the water to make more coffee in my french press.

I first thought, “wow, I’ve got a tea-making habit now,” but I realize that this gesture, making a cup of something warm and reminiscent of home for someone who’s taken a huge leap of faith to be with me, is not merely a habit. It’s more than routine, it’s part of me now.

Cheers to always having a reason to brew those PG Tips. Nah, cheers to love. Cheers to having the life that allows you to love. Cheers to you, James.

Please don’t wait to die to seek your “Great Perhaps” - start seeking it now if you haven’t already.

“ …and then, eventually, the New York skyline would appear on the horizon and we’d all stop talking. If you happen to live there, it’s always refreshing to view Manhattan from afar. Up close the city constitutes an oppressive series of staircases, but from a distance it inspires fantasies of wealth and power so profound that even out communists are temporarily rendered speechless. ”

“ I’m going to tell you something really subverse. Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it… It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, and risking everything for. And if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more. ”
