Bar Harbor, Maine

2008-09-15_01.jpg

After getting the repairs done to the RV, which stops ALOT better now, I headed down to a campground near Acadia National Park. Internet access is spotty and slow, but it is beautiful here, and – unlike yesterday – it is supposed to be sunny for the rest of the week. So I think I’ll stay a little while.

Some quicky photos of the tourist town of Bar Harbor…

The Implications of the Soul – My Story

My Story

My life started much like most. I grew up, went to school, joined the military. One day, I had a realization that life wasn’t all I was told it was. I started questioning authority, questioning everything I had been told and taught. I started practicing mediation and soon started catching glimpses of pure consciousness. I started seeking enlightenment in earnest and continued on this path for many years. I document this growth and the realizations that I experienced in detail in my photo-essay, Fading Toward Enlightenment (http://Fade2E.com).

How’s that for a title? Welcome to my life. Just as I was coming up to the Canadian/US border, my brakes started to feel really, really, mushy…

“Be the Soul”

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

2008-09-06_01.jpg

Pretty much worked all day – on the consulting project and The Implications of the Soul (I did sneak out to shoot a couple photos). But while I was working, as I’d observe people peering over at me, wondering who I was and what I was doing, I’d notice how my mind would jump into judgement mode…

Out My Window – Nova Scotia

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

2008-09-05_01.jpg

Tough day yesterday. Had Canadian customs search my entire RV (I apparently trigger too many “He’s a Terrorist!” flags). Drove hundreds of miles and landed in a campground that is nothing more that a wet, soggy, marshland. I was too tired to move on so I’m staying here until tomorrow.

Boondocking

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

2008-09-03_01.jpg

I am attempting my first boondocking experience – which means I am camped out in the middle of nowhere, no utilities, no lights, no power, no water – except what I have with me…

My Buddy in Bangor

2008-09-02_01.jpg

After working all morning, I went out on the bike to explore Bangor. This little guy landed on my hand, helped me get my camera out of the saddle bags and let me take a picture of him. Here are some more shots in and around Bangor, Maine…

Kayaked 10 miles down the Androscoggin River yesterday. As fate would have it, I had the river practically to myself.

Wandering The Woods Awound Bethel, Maine.

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

2008-08-26_1.jpg

It was cold and windy this morning (and apparently I’m a wimp) so I didn’t go kayaking. Instead I got some work done at the Mouse & Bean Internet Cafe then headed out into the woods of Bethel on my motorcycle.

Received nine emails of additional work over the last 12 hours for the consulting gig I’m working on. So this just a shot in my “Out My Window” series.

Introduction

If you knew, knew you were a soul that lived multiple lives, how would it change you? How would it change your perspective, your values, your day-to-day life as well as your long-term goals?

I can’t tell you how good it feels to be creating again – the photography, the writing, even this blog. In Taoism, it’s said…

Even though I haven’t dated for three years, irony would have it that I would meet a wonderful woman three weeks before I was to leave S. Florida.

Feeling Solid

Yesterday I was telling my friend Mary – who is going to kill me when she sees this – that lately I have been feeling very Solid. “Solid” is the way most people feel most the time, but for me, it’s miserable.
