“Although I deeply love oceans, deserts, and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty.” ~Victoria Erickson
“Beauty appears where there is an edge. A type of Courage. A fearlessness against the Unknown. Not where there is perfection.” ~Victoria Erickson
"Forest will always hold your secrets, for that's what forests are for. To separate and hide things. To protect, to comfort, to hold, to envelop, to demonstrate, to slow down, to teach. Go to the trees to explore your questions and dreams. Go to the trees to desire and seek. The world will listen as you walk, watch, soften, and breathe." ~Victoria Erickson
"I love getting older. My understanding deepens. I can see what connects. I can weave stories of experience and apply them. I can integrate the the lessons. Things simply become more and more fascinating. Beauty reveals itself in thousands of forms." ~Victoria Erickson

"Meaning and purpose don't come in the forms of great accomplishments or undertakings. Rather they reveal themselves on some randomly idle weekday morning when you realise how much you love someone or that you're doing all you can with what you can carry in the place you are with the time you have with what you care about." ~Victoria Erickson
"Often times, a person will think they know you by piecing together tiny facts and arranging those pieces into a puzzle that makes sense to them. If we don't know ourselves very well, we'll mistakenly believe them, and drift toward where they tell us to swim, only to drown in our own confusion.
Here's the truth: it's important to take the necessary steps to find out who you are. Because you hold endless depths below the surface of a few facts and pieces and past decisions. You aren't only the ripples others can see. You are made of oceans." ~Victoria Erickson
"Resilience is silent and deep, like roots. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't explode outward. It doesn't fall. It doesn't break. It simply always is. And you are." Victoria Erickson
"Solitude isn't loneliness. Solitude is when the entire serene universe seems to surround and hold you quietly." ~Victoria Erickson, Edge of Wonder
"Solitude isn't loneliness. Solitude is when the entire serene universe seems to surround and hold you quietly." ~Victoria Erickson, Edge of Wonder
"Soulmates aren't the ones who make you happiest, no. They're instead the ones who make you feel the most. Burning edges and scars and stars. Old pangs, captivation and beauty. Strain and shadows and worry and yearning. Sweetness and madness and dreamlike surrender. They hurl you into the abyss. They taste like hope." ~Victoria Erickson
"The greatest gift anyone could give anyone is for the other to feel worthy, adored and more than enough for all that they are. This is a gentle reminder that the people you surround yourself with in every direction should feel both uplifting and safe to your mind and heart. Not confusing, not draining, not controlling, not vague, not calculating, not unreliable, not cold, not dismissive, and not manipulative. Don’t mess around with the energy you take into your body and being, work wise, friendship wise, and relationship wise. Life is too short and delicate for these damaging things. It’s really that simple." ~Victoria Erickson

"To be fully human is to be wild. Wild is the strange pull and whispering wisdom. It’s the gentle nudge and the forceful ache. It is your truth, passed down from the ancients, and the very stream of life in your blood. Wild is the soul where passion and creativity reside, and the quickening of your heart. Wild is what is real, and wild is your home." ~Victoria Erickson

You don't need to choose mediocre when fire exists.

Trees can grow through rock.
Your heart expands when it's broken.
You should do it now.
