Photography as Worship

I don't know what it is about this picture,

but I agreed with what Google declared after I had finished editing it, that it was "awesome"!

The only difference was, their version of awesome was at odds with mine,

they wanted to add some fake snow to the image

and float it across the internet..... No Way!

I would never treat my image in such an irreverent way,

it was after all an awe inspiring occasion, an act of worship even!

I had been walking out just before dusk, and asking myself

just what is it that impels me to seek solace in the landscape?

What part of my soul wants intimacy? What is going on here

when I see something that says 'this composition', 'this beauty', 'click now'?

This point of contact that pulls me in?

As my love and I strolled along we had a whole conversation about this,

we decided between us that it must be like falling in love, that great unknown mysterious chemistry that exerts it's influence compelling the act of merging!

These other images come pretty close to awesome for me too, after a little tweaking in Picasa

and to say they were taken with my camera phone....

I find solace in God's Creation, no doubt about it, He is an awesome God, and so are the parts of His world.

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
