First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.

Happy Indigenous Day. Blessings to my ancestors and the position they have offered me as a gatekeeper. I’m in the woods, the ground rumbling beneath me, with their words and guidance. It’s been two months since I’ve been in California and I’m grateful for the experiences I’ve encountered so far. My journey continues. Photo by the incredible @najvas0l #ar7ii
