The mountain landscapes and roads inspired a spectrum of feelings in the passing days of our journey in 2010. My daughter and I shared hopeful thoughts about creating something new and beneficial in each of our lives. Neither of us chose to stay in the ‘status quo’ of our previous creations. I’d often said to others, “If you’re not happy with your life, change it.” Each of us had lived in different places, were each prepared to ‘go it alone’, then agreed to move forward again together as family and as friends. Why do so many people think in terms of being ‘either/or’?
Our 2010 drive through the mountains meant another great jump into adventure for my daughter, Alissa, and I to make yet another new beginning- another fresh start in the process of creating and co-creating our lives. We had just enough money to get to Vancouver Island and rent an apartment for a month, none to return if I couldn’t find work, although this time at least, Alissa had secured a job for herself in Victoria before leaving Ontario. The first time we moved West together, neither of us had work, had no idea where we’d live, and shared quite limited funds. We left the familiar to jump into the unknown.
This is the twelfth in a series of photos I’ve taken from the passenger side of a moving car and a few taken when stopped along the road. It’s not hard to tell which is which. I am delighted with the cellphone quick pics.
