So where to from here?

“For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen:

a gaseous nebula must collapse.

So collapse.

Crumble.

This is not your destruction.

This is your birth.”

~ Zoe Skylar

When the hound died, my world as I knew it crumbled.

It exploded into a myriad of pieces that won’t ever fit back together.

I feel like the joy has been sucked out of life.

Even though I know in reality it hasn’t.

Moving forward without the hound’s daily presence is difficult.

I wasn’t going to write a blog again.

Exploring my thoughts and feelings through the medium of  the written word 
and my photographs though has become integral to who I am.

So this is me again.

A little frayed around the edges.

A little wiser.

Sometimes fragile.

But growing in strength with every adversity I overcome.

So where to from here?

I know that I NEED to ramble.

There’s no getting away from it.

With or without the hound, I have to ramble.

It’s Mother Nature’s way of restoring some sanity to a very lost soul.

Wether it be long walks before the world wakes up

or exploring new rambles on my day off,

I know I have a need to walk.

Even on the cold winter mornings.

Even when the heavens are sending down a torrent of water.

Rambling is essential for my soul.
As is capturing the beauty of what I see.

The hound might not be here in physical form anymore
but I feel her with me everyday.

So rambling will continue

Sharing this new journey will continue.
Life will continue to challenge and provoke.
I wouldn't want it any other way.
