I don't know if all of you notice...every time somebody speaks of fall colours....well , because thats the season we're in the middle of at the moment...but any season for that matter...every time we describe it....we say....the best colours are yet to come, the best flowers are yet to bloom, the mad snow is yet to be ...and i start thinking about these two paradoxical analogies we live our lives with....never living in the moment...and yet positive and hopeful in our beliefs...that the best ---is yet to come .
I am becoming one of those people...who live their lives according to alarm clock pings built inside their heads....pretty desaturated if you ask me ...there is no other way to juggle what is , what needs to be, what has to be and what must be . Its a lot like free falling and returning to the same place again and again . Life.
How many chances does one really have...to get it right . How much luxury...to get it all wrong . Left or right , well trodden paths or the one less traveled ....as you keep chanting ----the best is yet to come.....you stand smack in the middle .
there's no cheat sheet to life ....:)
My wit has flown out of the window .....and i find ...the easiest thing to focus on is....the light....always the light.
And thats my comfort...no matter how confusing it all gets....no matter how bottomless the hour glass ....even under the darkest shadows...
There's always light .

Every shot is gorgeous - the light in her eyes flames brightest. No, there is no map for life. It comes at you and swooshes around and past. The best we can do is catch the light and try to hold it as best we can. You do that well. -Gayle for PP

WOW!!! It's really awesome here, Sonny. Glad I finally made it over to return the poem visit you graced my blog with weeks ago now.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are beauties. I can certainly relate to the pastry delight!! :)
And your words about us always thinking and saying "the best colors are to come" really makes me agree. Now is the hour, always. With light always -- nice!
All are beautiful! I so should have cheated! LOL

I must say Sonny that I like the very first one the best. It IS light and it DOES glow, white!
ReplyDeleteI call on the White Powers of the Universe when I am feeling hurt, troubled, or down. So it is special to me.
Beautifully written and illustrated, Sonny...all shining examples of your grasp on life.
