Welcome to

Path & Ponder!

Hi, my name is Savannah.
I am a curious wanderer
and writer, a consultant for creative entrepreneurs, and partner at Omnia Designs.

What is Path & Ponder?

I know that today, as Easter, is supposed to be about new life. But my soul is drawn back to the preceding day in the Resurrection story: Holy Saturday. The sacred in-between. Inhabiting the space of the not-yet. Waiting. Longing. Being willing to sit with death while holding hope for the coming light. Dwelling in the messy and confusing seasons of life where nothing makes sense. This is where the miracle really happens.

Just a few beautiful things from my recent ramblings 🌱 #nature #naturephotos #springishere #natureismyhome #mountainadventures

Sometimes it is okay to sit in the not-knowing. There is this beautiful paradox: sometimes the deepest wisdom comes from a willingness to simply be. #wisdominsilence #innerjourney #bemindful #beingpresent

“Stillness. One of the doors / into the temple.” - Today (Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings) #natureismytemple

What sets your soul on fire? What makes your heart dance like a thousand galaxies? What makes that flame burn a little brighter, a little braver? Don't, for a moment, let go of that. Never stop chasing the light that brings your spirit alive ✨

This piece I made recently for Omnia Designs was inspired by some recent ponderings on creativity. It is a reminder of the latent creative power that we each hold inside—waiting for spring, waiting for warmth, waiting for the moment when it is ready to be brought forth. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that every human is a creative being, at our essence.
.
We’ve done ourselves a disservice by holding such a restrictive idea of being creative, like it is only for the painters and poets, the tortured souls crafting paeans to pain. Yet we’re all creators in more ways than we realize. Every time a problem is solved, you’ve created a solution. Every time you changed or improved something, you’ve created a new reality. In fact, you can look at it even more broadly, as we are creating our own experience of life. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes.

|| "Whether we do this consciously or unconsciously, by the mere fact of being alive, we are active participants in the ongoing act of creation." (Rick Rubin, The Creative Act) ||

How are you tending to the garden of your soul? 🌱

The last few months have brought some challenges and changes for me, but I am grateful for the growth and strength I have discovered through it all. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on some very exciting projects of late. My website, Path & Ponder, is the central hub for everything going on, but I wanted to share some of the details here as well.
.
The mantra that has inspired me lately is about overcoming our internal limits and discovering the world that’s waiting on the other side of fear. This is a common thread in my current ventures, from helping creative entrepreneurs succeed in their business to developing designs that celebrate the resilience and freedom of the human spirit. Life is a journey and I'm excited to see what the universe brings next ✨✨

Dreaming of a spring-green world today #springiscoming #greenislife #moss #naturevibes

A thought from The Creative Act: A Way of Being, by Rick Rubin. Creativity has been on my mind a lot recently and was inspired this weekend to write a blog post about it. Check the link in my bio to read it :) #creativity #quotes #creativelife #createyourreality #words #wordstoinspire

“You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.” - Alan Watts

“Stillness. One of the doors / into the temple.” - Mary Oliver

When it is hard to tell where the mountains end and the clouds begin #pnw #olympicmountains #pugetsound #dreamviews

When it feels like you’re walking through an enchanted forest ✨ #pnw #forestlovers #treesofinstagram

|| Paradoxical as it may seem, the purposeful life as no content, no point. It hurries on and on, and misses everything. Not hurrying, the purposeless life missing nothing, for it is only when there is no goal and no rush that the human senses are fully open to receive the world. || Alan Watts
