"You have striven so hard, and so long, to compel life. Can't you now slowly change, and let life slowly drift into you... let the invisible life steal into you and slowly possess you."

What a great D.H. Lawrence quote. Hmmm.It's not easy to give up control and let life lead us, is it?
Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. Letting life flow into me and on through me. I have pretty much stopped striving..though I still reach a bit..but even that is not as compelling. Thank you for helping light up my life. I guess I think of these last years of my life "in a soft light.."

I have always enjoyed this angle on your photos... it's done so well.
Beautiful word choice as well!
Happy Valentine's Day♥
That's so pretty. It reminds me of a ballerina as she's swirling across stage letting the music "slowly possess her."
I follow your blog and enjoy the photos so much. Am just stopping to today to wish you a Happy Valentines Day and many happy days.
how incredibly beautiful -- nothing more to say -- beautiful
Beautifully rich photograph and accompanying prose. You are truly an artiste.
What a wonderful quote. I am going to copy it out and make a poster for my study and it will become my new mantra...because it encapsulates exactly where I am in my autumn years and Thank you Mary for the perfect quote and the subtle and perfectly matched flower.
P.S.
There's a little something for you at my place too.
Today I let go of a friend - such is the way of life & death. This photo just spoke to me. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.
