Deeply Soul Embedded
September 1, 2025
I ran across two photos today — neither mine, just to be clear — that reach down deep. Each represents a place dear to me. Beyond dear… shaping.
The first, taken by Lance Kinney (friend from Valmonte elementary school days), is of Palos Verdes, Bluff Cove specifically. My twice daily view on the way to/from high school…
I mean.
And this one — shot by a stranger, to me, named Andrew Brittain — of Yosemite. While we avoid Yosemite Valley because of its crowds, it is still a thrill to be down there and see such monstrously huge granite faces, peaks and domes. Truly breathtaking. The granite, also a defining feature of the high country, where we do spend a lot of time, is what can bring me to tears. It’s everything.
Amazing pictures.
Both places evoke profound gratefulness for the beauty that is a huge part of my life.
