Genesis Piece Captured by Jason Matias Out in the wild of the Pacific Northwest.

Athena in the Wild - Edition of 50

When I was young in Tennessee- before the big internet boom & when Barbies were boring- I entertained as a crazy monkey, a fan of climbing trees.

One day a new kid moved in next door; a boy who wasn’t a fan of my antics. He challenged that I couldn’t climb to the top in my moms heels- & I said BET.

Sure enough I made it to the top & back - while he got stuck in the middle. The triumph stayed with me - no matter the obstacles or handicaps, I will rise to the top.

Remembering that victory brought a smile to my face when I was presented with this tree. This time I climbed it barefoot & braless. A wild woman, conquering all the challenges that may arise.
