It was an ordinary day,
yet is was no ordinary day.
The warm sun was kind to my face,
while the cool breeze from the open window
bathed my neck.
The view from my seat was brilliant
like someone had switched from monochrome
to HD colour and I was fully tuned in.
I wanted to make this day count,
so at every stop I captured
when the lady in the white sun top boarded, the breeze blowing her fragrance before.
I felt so receptive to life, it felt like
life was smacking me in the face
like the splashing of cold water
on a perspiring forehead,
a wonderful
feeling.
I felt so intimately
connected to life and
all that was going on
around me after what seemed
like a period of disconnection.
As I neared the end of my
sacred ordinary journey, thinking
about all of the young people
getting on and off the bus,
I began to think of my life's journey
being quite away down the road
from these folks, how it seems to be whizzing by.
I suppose the last stop
was most painfully poignant
<~ but the most beautiful capture of the day I think,
don't you agree?
Journey's end, Nottingham,
a university city
famous for visual arts.

You have captured so many passing moments that live in the instant and then are gone. No sooner to we reach the future, than it becomes the past. Blink once, and the moments are gone. Did the tight grimace become a smile; did the ponytail flip as a hanky rose up to wipe a hot nape? You have truly honored the instant and yes, she, at the end, imparts a very poignant mood.

every word, every image...such a perfect fit.
Life rushes by but each of it's joyful ordinary moments should make us stop and look and breath.

pure soul poetry...i could feel your heart connection to every electric moment. this is the "sweet spot" when everything aligns and we live the pure wisdom that we are all inextricably bound to each other. thank you for capturing this aliveness so vividly in your loving life words and perfect photo holygrams.
