this is tejana 🌻
she's been
this lingering
feeling ,
in wake
& even
in dream ,
an intuitive friendly
reminder , a tap
on the shoulder ,
when you've
found someone
that feels
like a fondness
for the familiar
•••
recently reconnected :: long overdue :: for a plant walkin' soul sippin' tiny goat tinkerin' spring kinda awakenin' 🌱

{ find comfort in a soft spot }⠀
come now , dear one⠀
to rest your ⠀
tired bones⠀
& body⠀
you have done⠀
so well today⠀
walking in the world⠀
you have tried⠀
as best you can⠀
to put one foot⠀
in front of the other⠀
to follow whatever⠀
your heart asks you to⠀
you have done⠀
so well today⠀
living your life⠀
the night is here now⠀
and it is time⠀
to put down⠀
your busy world⠀
& to enter⠀
the quiet relief⠀
of the empty⠀
ink black⠀
sky⠀

right now i’m reading { saving farmland :: the fight for real food } by nathalie of @madronafarm & it’s such a wonderful thing to be reading about something you’re becoming sooo passionate about written by someone who lives just down the street from you. i’m so excited for this new path @cruzinthruu & i are on :)
~
these plant photos were taken at @cruzinthruu’s horticulture school last year (at @hcpgardens) just before he graduated and that first image with the fleurs in the big blue sky was inspired by this filmy frame of some artichokes he took that i’m absolutely obsessed with :: if you go to his website you can see it!!
~
weve been feeding off of each other this past year , teaching each other what weve realized within our own communities and pushing each other to grow in ways i don’t think either of us saw coming / it’s led us here :: to a place where were suddenly & not so suddenly dreaming of one day owning a piece of land on this island & farming it together // & you know what? i honestly believe it’s going to happen 🌱

{ i’m so proud of us }

would you have guessed that this bohemian babe is a lover of farming? her natural ways and earthly energy has always inspired me but it wasn’t until moving to the island that i started to feel a sudden shift way deep in my bones. being here is being surrounded by people who are passionate about our planet. it might also have something to do with constantly being surrounded by the radical voices of @patagonia (a part-time job that has been one of the best decisions i’ve made for myself here) but a fire is beginning to burn in me. it feels like so much has changed in the past year & really, absolutely everything has but it’s the realization that it’s the least obvious bits that are the ones hitting home & heart hard. yes - i live somewhere new, sure, but it’s :: the ways in which i move through this life on a day to day & thought to thought basis :: that are moving me further away from who i was and closer to who i am. from what i consume { produce / products / publications / & people } it’s all altered. i’ve realized that it’s shaped me into something new & perhaps that’s why i’ve felt so lost, disconnected from what used to connect. lately, i feel like i’ve been having the hardest of times figuring out what i’m even passionate about anymore and the other week it just hit me like a ton of bricks. it’s doing my part. this means a whole year filled with shifts in storytelling & passion projects... which i’ll tell ya about another time!! 🎬
~
sorry to cut ya off but spring is in full swing on the island and today @cruzinthruu & i are going to plan out our first ever garden in our new nook. were going to grow the perfect salad!! what’s your favourite veggie to grow at home? 🌱🥦🥕🥒🥬

:: { focus } ::
what moves us is not constant, it’s a shape shifting pull :: these days i’ve been drawn to my watercolours & a good indian black ink pen ; stocking up on handmade cards for some sappy snail mail. what have you been keen on these days? ☁️🤓⠀

my sister came to visit me (& she brought snow)! we’re not technically blood related but i’ve known her my entire life, although she did have to live her first four months without me , i can only imagine how long those days felt. we were inseparable as kids , lived together in university, and then suddenly we both moved away to different cities. between long Toronto overlays & a bit of island hopping :: i’d say were makin’ it work!

if you already live on an island , why not meet up on another island? ☁️
