We’ve found ourselves in a new area on the peninsula of LaScie. I’m a landscape photographer who lives full time in my 4runner ross which gives me the freedom to explore basically anywhere at the cost of luxuries such as heat, showers, or a place to work. This lack of amenities combined with the cold May weather here In Newfoundland has pushed me to my limit. A few days ago, I almost broke down and left it all behind but thankfully I persevered and get greatly rewarded in more ways than one. This is episode 4 • Quotes from this episode: • “Almost when you least expect it, things fall into place. You realize that what left, was making space for what was about to arrive. The quiet let you hear the guidance. The unhappiness forced you to make a move. The unsettledness made you keep seeking. The end ushered in a new beginning. • The doors that closed turned you toward the ones that were opening. The lessons were always leading you. Every time you got it wrong, you were one step closer to having it right.” • Brianna Weist • We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering, we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is, we only become more fearful, more hardened, and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This protection mechanism is so strong, we’re not even aware of it. We’re just trying to make life smooth and secure, trying to build a shelter for ourselves from the fear we feel in our hearts. We can slow down and stop rushing around so much. We can just rest our minds right here, in the immediacy of our experience, without trying to alter anything. By staying with that pain and not taking it personally, we see that nothing in this world is solid or permanent. Everything is in a process of changing. When we can rest with this change, with this impermanence, we find that the very ground of our being is open and spacious. Instead of scrambling to protect ourselves, we can appreciate the richness of every moment. The trick is to let go and simply be present with the vulnerability of the human experience. This is how we cultivate loving-kindness, both for ourselves and for others.” • -Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart (Chapter 20: The Trick of Choosing) • 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 • Website: https://alexarmitage.com • Newsletter: https://alexarmitage.com/newsletter • Discord Community: / discord • Instagram: / alexarmitage_ • Vero: https://vero.co/alexarmitage • Camera/Video 𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫 (Affiliate Links) • 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐎𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 : https://www.alexarmitage.com/gear • Colored Magnetic Filters: https://mavenfilters.com/aff/12/ • New Photography Camera: https://geni.us/Canon-R5 • New Video Camera: https://geni.us/Canon-R7 • Drone: https://geni.us/Mavic-2Pro • Old Video Camera: https://geni.us/FujiXT4Body • Vanlife 𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫 • Fridge: https://geni.us/campfridge • Power/Battery: https://geni.us/campbattery • USB Fan: https://geni.us/USBThinFan • Clothes Pack Cubes: https://geni.us/ClothesPackingCubes • Car Mirror: https://geni.us/CampingMirror • Toiletry Bag: https://geni.us/ToiletryBag • Window Nets: https://geni.us/WindowNets • Black Hole Duffel: https://geni.us/BlackHoleDuffel • Electronic Organizer: https://geni.us/ElectronicOrganizer • Thermocell: https://geni.us/ThermoCell • Organizing Bag: https://geni.us/WaxOrganizerBag • Empty Spray Bottle: https://geni.us/EmptySprayBottle • Camp Light: https://geni.us/camplight • Quality USB Light: https://geni.us/QualityUSBLight • Affordable USB Light: https://geni.us/AffordableUSBLight • Car First Aid: https://geni.us/CarFirstAid • Portable Speaker: https://geni.us/JBLPortableSpeaker • Portable Power Strip: https://geni.us/PortablePowerStrip • Lens Cloths: https://geni.us/MicrofiberLensCloths • Camera Straps: https://geni.us/BigCameraStrap • Camera Wipes: https://geni.us/CameraCleaningWipes • Cooking 𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫 • Electric Tea Kettle: https://geni.us/ElectricBoil • Big Table: https://geni.us/campbigtable • Camp Stove: https://geni.us/everestcampstove • Cutting Board: https://geni.us/campcuttingboard • Measuring Cups: https://geni.us/MeasuringCups • Knife: https://geni.us/campknife • Knife Cover: https://geni.us/KnifeCover • Skillet: https://geni.us/camplegendskillet • Coffee Cups: https://geni.us/DurableCoffeeCup • Car Bowls: https://geni.us/DurableCampingBowls • Car Plates: https://geni.us/DurablePlates • • Music (Typically) from Musicbed: • https://fm.pxf.io/c/3300666/1347628/1... • 0:00 This is Episode 4 • 1:35 Everything is Better • 9:40 The Last Iceberg • 10:40 To Twillingate! • 19:00 Travel Notes • 24:55 Two Days Later... • 28:20 Composition Breakdown in Newfoundland • 34:05 Sunset
