Day 62

March 3, 2021

A slow and simple ride today

Tried to shoot in black and white today.  It's fun when the light is very fluid.  The clouds were collecting, but then they would open up and a very bright sun would shine through.  Taking pictures in the rookery is like coming home to shoot.  There was a single black bird high in the dead trees, no others appeared.  It was 45 degrees and there was a breeze, but not the harsh wind and bitter cold.  

Gratitude

for Anna Berry 

I am grateful for time

time to smell

   chicken and pear cooking in the oven

to breath

   intentionally into my toes

   hold 6 release 8

to take naps

   on cloudy afternoons

   when the calm before the storm

   makes my eyes droop.

 

I am grateful for connections

connections to

   family

   friends who watch over me

   tease me

   depend on me

   sing with me

to a practice

   of intention

   of others' gratitude

 

I am grateful for the presence

   the insight and wisdom

   the past has brought.

   Stories that inform

   pictures that transform

   music that comforts

   movement that maintains.

I am grateful.
