AM I GOING TO THE HARDWARE STORE FOR MILK?

That’s a question I’ve been asking myself nearly everyday for the last couple weeks.
Does this situation, this person, have the capacity to meet me? Do I have the capacity to provide what I am asking of myself?

@gloisblue and I tend to talk a lot on hikes. We never seem to run out of thoughts or questions. But on the last three big hikes we’ve done, there have been lonnnng stretches, hours, that we don’t really talk.
Half of it is concentrating at the task at hand, trying to be deliberate about footing and activating the right muscles. But a large part of it, at least for me, is working through really deeply uncomfortable truths with myself. Like when you sleep on a math problem hoping the answer will reveal itself to you - I have hope that every step I take moves me closer in alignment with my truth, peace, healing, and authenticity.

The last three months of hiking has been such a blessing. Tackling the highest point in SoCal, the highest point in the contiguous US, and Half Dome, back to back to back - has been nothing short of spectacular.
I wasn’t raised in an outdoorsy household, I didn’t camp or hike as a child. When you come from the flattest place in the US, from a family who knows nothing of the wilderness, the barrier to entry for this stuff feels pretty high. Every time I step on the trail or camp, I’m learning something new. I’m humbled constantly. If my younger self could see me, I know she’d be so stoked.

Thanks for reading
I’ll probably deactivate my page again soon until I hike something else really big. 🙇🏽‍♀️💛 by @domenicatello

I am devoured. Consumed.
Expanding and collapsing.
I surrender.
Let me be devoured. Transformed.

I’ve hiked about 65 miles in the last month. I’m so grateful.
Thanks for walking with me @gloisblue - idk if these things would’ve been realized without you. taken in Mount Whitney Summit 14,505' by @domenicatello

On Monday we celebrated Pockets 4th solar return - a truly blessed day! I wasn’t aware how big my heart is until Pocket filled it. I couldn’t comprehend loving someone as much as I love her. She’s my other, better half. I tell her almost everyday that she’s so strong, so beautiful, so kind, so wickedly smart, healthy, and capable of anything. Positive affirmations aren’t only for humans.
I don’t think I’m a good enough person to deserve Pocket, but I’ll spend every single day of her life trying to be. Please enjoy each of these photos equally ♥️🦴🐾 by @domenicatello
