I love visiting this park whether it’s clear and sunny or gray and foggy. Different vibes but always beautiful with the iconic rocky coast.
The waves were pretty big today so it was a pleasure to take in the sights and sounds of them crashing in their ebb and flow, washing over the rocks, receding back into the ocean, rinse and repeat.
It’s already breathtaking to be by the ocean in all her beauty and vastness and to be reminded of how small we really are. Rocky coasts like at Two Lights also offer that feeling of smallness in a temporal sense, as we only witness an infinitesimal moment within the grand timeline of coastal erosion, while sitting on the rocks that have been shaped and continue to be shaped by the ocean.
Anyways, highly recommend visiting if you happen to be in southern Maine, healing is only a 20 minute drive from Portland :)

some of the most gorgeous views on the east coast i think, my friend and i road tripped up there for a week and i never wanted to leave!! we spent a lot of time at otter cliffs specifically- running and jumping around on the rock formations, stargazing, and just listening to/watching the waves roll across the jagged rocks. we went in the summer but i'm hoping to go back in the fall time to explore other parts during peak fall foliage :)

This was a truly horrid thought I had the other day when I was walking over the river while marveling at the water, the city lights, cars, and people. Scrolling and walking do have similarities and realizing this was valuable to me. Scrolling simulates visual stimuli moving across our field of vision as we navigate a digital landscape.
Taking a walk outside, making dinner, talking to a friend in person, or even just wandering around my apartment have all worked to minimize scrolling urges for me. They all also tend to involve the movement of my visual field with constant new stimuli.
Its also important to note that none of these tasks require intensive demands to focus attention. If I want to doom scroll I probably want to relax my brain from concentrated attention while engaging in a repetitive task. Just walking around my apartment is better than scrolling and often more realistic than reading. Finding ways to relax and procrastinate without using screens may seem counter-intuitive but I think it gives me more freedom. Plus I have never regretted going on a walk.

okay yes maybe its short because its a childrens book, but that doesn't detract from it being a classic of postmodern literature

this pattern was easy to follow and it took only a few days to knit both mittens. I am so happy with how the colorwork looks and the thickness of the mittens.
