Wide-eyed and ready, following the unseen path

I like to travel, write, and take pictures. Follow my trips, while sharing and gaining incite on a vagabond lifestyle.

Not much to say about this one. This is just a really cool pic someone snapped at a weekly jam night in Chiang Mai. I'm playing less #uke at the moment, but in a guitar heavy jam, it's fun to mix it up. Figured I'd disrupt the christmas feed with music pictures :) #candidphotography - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #blackandwhitepics #ukuleletime #candidpics #jamnight #chiangmaicreatives #coloradocreatives #longhairdontcare #mustacheporn #mustacheswag #eminor #playmusic #improvjam #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bry77A8g96E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v2saz458od20

02/256: "Under the watchful eye of a cold moon guide riding high above the solstice. Engaged in battle with the extended night A warrior of light dances with his demons. Energized ink gives meaning beyond simple pen stroke a fashioned lasso lashing lose the shadow's yolk grabbing hold of hellion's heel. Kicking screaming the unknow fiend now named dragged into the bright turgid light." #newbookontheway - - - - - - - - - - - - - #coldmoon #wintersolstice2018 #renewal #releasing #newbook #selfpublishedauthor #poetrybook #newshit #poetsofig #poetstagram #campingisfun #writingprocess #writeeverydamnday #newwriting #burntofferings #firelight #moonmagic #mooncycle #gypsylife #soloadventure #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvB4vkAZo7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qvg1l7rhnh8z

The mountain frees me from entitled feelings - The Tree Ring, "Hummingbird Pause" - @salty_mike took a bunch of photos at a beautiful lookout right at the start of the Chiang Dao summit hike. With the recent rain, the trail, which is only open a few months out of the year, has been closed. I feel super fortunate to have gotten up before the season's end. #gooutsideeveryday - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #chiangdao #hikinglife #greenery🌿 #greeneryscenery #lookouts #mountainscape #mountainporn #jungletrek #junglephotography #outdoorliving #outdooradventurephotos #outdooradventure #roaming #beingoutsidemakesmehappy #limestonepeaks #gypsylife #backpackingthailand #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/BrciQ7-Aues/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1guxxch7k4nm1

02/243: I'm planning to release a #newbook of poetry next month and this particular piece, "Peace Offering," has decided it also wants to be a whispy emo song. Whattdya think? I have an idea to mix it with the title poem of the book...but you will only know if you're in Chiang Mai on January 16th for the release show :) #emo4life - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #newpoetry #emosongs #whispers #poetsofinstagram #poetstagram #songwritersofig #newsongs #selfpublishedauthor #vidstagram #dontbuyvegetariansleather #musicstagram #mustachelife #mustacheyouaquestion #guyswithlonghairandtattoos #acousticguitar #acousticsong #epiphoneacoustic #cnx #chiangmaicreatives #coloradocreatives #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSAoaaDWno/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5k4miyrq5efl

A week ago was by far the highest attended show I've ever hosted. It was a lotta fun but also super hectic. I have been learning a lot through these experience, while also thoroughly enjoying a little microphone time.

02/327: I had the oppourtunity to hike to the Chiang Dao summit this weekend and it was beautiful. The processes and bureaucratic mess to actually get on the mountain was definitely worth the hassle after seeing the sun set and rise over the vast array of young peaks and impenetrable green. Along with the hike, hearing the dead silence that accompanies freezing mornings, while waiting for the sunrise, was something I've been missing having not been in winter for a few years. Thank you @doc_nok for setting the whole thing up! #mountainair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #mountainporn #mountainscape #limestonepeaks #chiangdao #mountainsummit #sunsetporn #sunrise_pics #sunriseoverthemountains #greenery🌿 #greenfordays #junglephotography #jungletrek #gooutsidetoday #lifeontheroad #hiking_daily #hikingtheglobe #greeneryscenery #outdoorliving #frozenmorning #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqo4-KuAn5b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6dxhv4ul0n6x

03/230: It's important to surround yourself with people who are striving for growth if you yourself want to grow. It's also important to surrounded yourself with active, driven, and fun people if you want to enjoy a life that is anything but mundane. My friend Julia just started a company called @omakahoodies . They are super cool. I did a little photoshoot with her and these were a few of the favorite shots. #coolfriends - - - - - - - - - - #photoshootfun #gooutsidetoday #gooutsideeveryday #omakahoodies #mulvathemodel #fakemodel #guyswithlonghairandtattoos #mustachelife #moostache #mustachio #greenaryscenary #localproducts #supportyourfriends #festyfashion #festivalattire #cnx #thailand_ig #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/BqW3SDTgSJ1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ozh6bq85fc8p

3/223: This is what the writing process looks like for me. "Tourist Towns" has decide that it is an ukulele driven, spoken word piece. It will most likely debut next week at Words Will Win round 6!

3/220: I'm not sure how the #creativeprocess works for other artists, but for myself, I'll have lines or concepts appear and ensare my brain until I, at the least, write them on a page. The piece I'm working on currently is called "Tourist Towns." It's inspired by a lot of what I'm seeing take place back where I'm from. The line which inspired said piece is "Singing cowboy songs with girls we ain't known too long, who'll never know the depths of this valley through the season's change." In my head it's a romantic piece, but one about searching for lasting love. I'm not sure if it will be a written poem, short story, or a performance piece but it feels good to even get the first line on the page. #aspiringpoet - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #coloradocreatives #chiangmaicreatives #outdoorcafe #lakesideview #lakesidecafe #notebooktherapy #notebooklove #vidstagram #aspiringmusician #artistlifestyle #writeeverydamnday #writeeveryday #cnx #thailandig #chiangmaicafe #gypsylife #greatoutdoors #greenaryscenary #ponds #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8jacuAao5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rzytvaqulmle

03/216: We've given a negative context to the word retreat. We meet it, with notions of failure, of fleeing, of not being able to face what may be brought before us on any given day. But this connotation, it's short-sighted. Elevated by those who mistake courage for cowardice, whom are quick to bare arms, yet slow to unveil the soul. Whom only see problems as enemies; the riddle can only be sovled with weapons. No, in retreating, one learns a lesson. Hindsight is a beautiful guide, if we chose to reside in her grasps, long enough to hear her message told. Undressing us of ego's cloak, unbridling us of opressive yolk. The only joke, which remains, is that we spend so many of our days, isolated from our generous mother. #gooutsidetoday - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #poetsofinstagram #poetstagram #poetryislove #poetry_addicts #greenery🌿 #greeneryscenery #greatoutdoors #natureporn #waterfallhike #junglephotography #junglepool #cnx #chiangmaicreatives #coloradocreatives #spellingishard #writeeveryday #writeeverydamnday #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpyvt5aAmdy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hjxkwagbyt75

When I wrote this poem, I did it as an ode to those who have inspired me to be a poet and musician. I’ve always seen it as a positive, more inspirational piece. Last Thursday, I delivered it with this mentality in mind. The next day, I ran into someone who saw me perform, and told me that my piece had really hit them hard. As opposed to it being inspirational, for him, it was actually more of a wake-up call, delivered via an emotional punch to the gut. The person had found themselves in a lethargic period, and was having a hard time getting out of bed. They were struggling with depression even though, in their words, nothing really bad was happening. They were stuck in a hole that was only getting deeper. Hearing this piece about others dealing with their own demons through creation made them look at their own situation in a different light. Though it was a tough pill to swallow, it was a message he said he needed to hear, and ended up thanking me for the poetic sucker punch. Art is a funny thing. Much like our words and our actions, we can only create it. We don’t decide how it will be digested or viewed by others. If someone’s art touches you AND you have the ability to tell the artist that, tell the artist that. We do this for ourselves, but gahhhhh damn it does feel nice when we create something that evokes feeling in others :) #loveyourartistfriends - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #poetstagram #poetsofinstagram #poetryopenmic #vidstagram #livemusicvideo #livepoetry #hawaiianshirt #guyswithlonghairandtattoos #guyswithsleeves #musicstagram #mustachio #imustacheyouaquestion #epiphoneacoustic #gypsy #gypsylife #chiangmaicreatives #coloradocreatives #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkAiBJg4a6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qfpof3dydjhk

03/204: This little bit o' ukulele noodling is from my poem "The Path of Totality." I performed it last week at a monthly event I host in Chiang Mai called Words Will Win. It's amazing to watch these videos after a performance. While on stage it's a crapshoot. You can have moments where you completely lose yourself to your art, with no care in the world but the notes and melody. Or, you can feel so stuck on something you feel you messed up on, falling into a world of self conscious turmoil...until you watch the video and realize no one noticed that one note you slipped on. I'm very pleased to share my #artistjourney with you all and hope you enjoy :) Thanks @jaykijai for recording!

03/195: Words Will Win round 5 is coming to Chiang Mai this week. We got some huge features including @binkey1 and @yolandehouse . We got more features, an open mic, and a whole lotta love, vulnerability, and openness to share with one another. See you this wednesday at Thapae East Venue for the Creative arts starting at 8 pm :) #chiangmaicreatives - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #livemusic #livepoetry #spokenword #performancepoet #performancepoetry #aspiringartists #vulnerability #openmic #chiangmai #cnx #thapaeeast #musicstagram #mulvjoneshosts #mulvathemc #gypsy #gypsylife #traveloften #shareyourvibe #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo8Vi8thfFY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aw2qnnlmbh1k

03/183: Don't knock it until you try it, stay with me. Step 1: Take a fresh coconut. Cut that S open, pour the water into the blender then scrap out the meat and follow suit. Step 2, 3, and 4: add a little ginger, half an avocado, and a few sweet bananas. Are you ready for the curve ball? Step 5: add a red bell pepper. Crazy? Maybe. Delicious? Yes. I've been dabbling with eating raw since returning to CM and I've seen both great bodily changes as well as difficulties adapting. The other kicker is an immense change in lifestyle. Becoming a vegetarian already saw how I aproached the day-to-day altered mightily and with raw food, these changes only multiply. I'm not hopping on the train just yet, but I am definitely flirting with the idea. #smoothierecipes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #smoothieseveryday #freshfruits #avocado🥑 #bellpeppers #liquidlunch #smoothietime #chiangmaicreatives #foodasmedicine #healthylivingjourney #daybyday #smallchanges #smallchangesbigresults #greenaryscenary #boglife #swamplife #wideeyedandwandering #tumbleweedtales https://www.instagram.com/p/Bodga1Ul_oO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9eg00430vkz
