looking within

"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don't meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."

Rumi

Upstream

Whenever I drive over a small bridge (and there are many in my neck of the woods) I love to look upstream. I'm not sure what draws me to this type of scene. I do love the sense of calm and security that comes with the slowly moving water and the overhanging trees. Or maybe it is just the converging lines of perspective -- the vanishing point that beckons. :)

Have a wonderful weekend, dear bloggers!

Nirvanah

"Yes, there is a Nirvanah;  it is in leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem."

                                                                                                            Kahlil Gibran

Deja Vu All Over Again

I'm not sure if I already posted this photo, or one similar, but I've just added a texture to it so I thought I would post it here.  Besides, all my posts seem to have disappeared (to me, at least) and the last time that happened, they reappeared when I published a new post.  So, here goes.  Crossing my fingers...

Autumn Dreams

Yes, I'm having fun with post processing these days.  I ran Pioneer Woman's "Lovely and Ethereal" action on this, and then added a texture.  It almost makes me miss autumn.  ;)

The Eternal Flow of Things

"Gently -- so have good men taught --

Gently, and without grief, the old shall glide

Into the new; the eternal flow of things..."

                                                                   William Cullen Bryant

Flow

"Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.  Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing.  This is the ultimate."

                                                                                                       Chuang-tzu

Around the Corner

It's been a nice, peaceful weekend here, which is good.  Because we all know what's right around the corner, don't we?  The Christmas craziness begins.

Look Within

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.  Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

                                                                                    Carl Gustav Jung

Balance

"So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else."

                                                                                Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

River

"I was born upon thy bank, river,

My blood flows in thy stream,

And thou meanderest forever

At the bottom of my dream."

                                                              Henry David Thoreau
