Taking Notes

I've been taking note, sifting and sorting both physically and mentally,
I like to have a good old clear out now and again,
to re-evaluate the worth of things...




Parring down to the essentials and simplifying has always been a way of life for me ~
My motto is if I don't use it, appreciate it, believe in the worth of it then it has to go...

This is my 495th post, I am also nearing my four year blogging anniversary and thinking about where I am going with it all. I'm not saying I'm about to give up my beloved 'FMB' but that I feel I have become somewhat scattered, maybe even a little lost!  Initially it was all about my images, I was in photography heaven for two whole years, shooting, posting and writing.  I was eager to post and took current advice to just let my blog 'evolve' which I did. I'm glad to say I did for I have met some wonderful, soulful bloggers over the years and experienced a real sense of belonging and love, but here's the thing, somewhere along the way I feel I have diluted myself, that I have lost some of my integrity, sense of purpose, which I want to re-capture.

I have many abstract swirlings going round my head with regard to photography and how I see it and none of these are do with technique but everything to do with life and living in the moment, intuitive photography it is called. It is wonderful, all embracing, therapeutic, even life changing...

So this is my intention:

To gather myself back to me, to concentrate my effort, to focus and become more creative in my offerings in both words and image, to look for new ways to connect.  I might go a bit quiet here while this is going on, I might even re-name my blog with the 500th post, I might lose some of my present connections but I have to listen to this strong voice within. Always!

Yours intuitively.... SF

I totally get this... Diluting yourself, needing to be true to your Heart and your own unique expression, and the need to refocus. I am feeling it too. I have found your posts rich, authentic and heartfelt, and I enjoy visiting here. I look forward to more of your "intuitive photography" :)

Haiku my Heart #42 - Shine on

t'was just a sparkle peeping through the blacks and grey it filled my whole eye .... My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive, she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms. It has been a dark week, yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting off of her car through my window. She's been rattling up and down the motorway for the last year everyday to the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep. The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love, it's washed, polished and resting-up waiting for her return. For more haiku poetry Visit Recuerda mi Corazon

Haiku my Heart #49 ~ Numbers

 After yoga yesterday we discussed significant numbers, today being Friday 13th, unlucky for some they say! On the other hand the year 2012 is said to be an auspicious year, The Chinese Year of the Golden Dragon, taking place only once every 60 years .  It also happens to be a leap year so  that means the possibility of climbing my same old staircase an extra time this year! The number 300 is significant too  this being my  300th post!  whilst yesterday the 12th was my blog birthday 2 years! So what do these numbers all amount to? Can I count on them to calculate my life? Or are they just markers of time,  as illusory as my shadows? shadows behind me  light always falls to the front  illuminates now sending to  Postcards from Paradise Recuerda mi Corazon BTW this is my 49th Haiku  I'm sure this is a significant number! ;~) PS I'm really getting into this numbers thing,  apparently 7 is the perfe...
