The title I found through the word compass and feeling compassion as I feel so deeply especially emotionally. Wherever I go, be the air heavy with moisture, grey oceans, grey skies, varying degrees of brightness, full moon, or new moons I take them all. I'm amazed by the expanse of space and ocean amongst us. I greet what we receive, with gratitude + blessings, and am thankful to be able to experience being here for my time~ I'm stoked to see what the future holds for us on planet Earth, and for my path,... I trust the path unseen!

Here I am, me, enjoy flicking through with mine + your eyes
