I want to step in front of a runaway train
just to feel alive again.
Something dead has taken refuge in my soul
Something dark and old fearful of the light
I long to see the light again
To feel the release
The warmth
To see clearly again
I reach inside
Bend to touch the ground
My fingers meet the warm earth
Like a tree my fingers become roots
The darkness falters
The thawing of my heart begins
I stretch to the sky
Fingers splayed open
Reaching
Reaching for whatever will channel into me
The suns warmth tickle my fingers, then my hands
A low cry finds my throat
Release
Releasing its darkness
Surrendering
Like little sparks of energy
Eventually kindle a flame
I release
I surrender
My body becomes charged
Warmed by the sun
One with the universe
Rooted in the Mother
Accepting
Acceptance of the whole
My will
My life force begins to course
Life seeps into every dark crack and crevice
A glow
The glow of life once again
It kindles and grows
I am alive
This too will pass
Let the healing begin
JA

Welcome! My name is Johnna, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by travel, writing, and photography. I’ve always believed that the world is far too beautiful and fascinating to stay in one place for long. In 2017, I began the third chapter of my life—a chapter defined by adventure, discovery, and the pursuit of experiences over possessions. Alongside my soulmate, Chris Williams, and our faithful Pembroke Corgi, Gandaulf, I set out to explore the world one destination at a time. This blog is a collection of our journeys, stories, photographs, lessons learned, and memories made along the way. My hope is that through these pages, you’ll travel with us, find inspiration for your own adventures, and discover a few hidden gems of the world. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and come along for the ride. The road ahead is sure to be filled with unexpected turns, unforgettable moments, and stories worth sharing. Welcome to our grand adventure.
