TrilliumWe spend a lot of time concerning ourselves with how others see us, concerned about whether we measure up or fall short in the world around us. The more we do this, the less we truly know who we are. So come out into this world and live your life. Move through each day with your senses alert, your observing eyes and ears open. Interact with all of your being. And above all, feel. Your feelings are your guidance from within--your feelings are the only measure you will ever need.
One of the reasons I wouldnt try new things is I didnt want to look foolish... after years of playing with my children I no longer care how i look or people perceive me
ReplyDeleteWhat wise words to help me on my way! And another beautiful photo. Sigh :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Abbey. I'm so to hear from you. I so relate to your comment about your children. It was in watching my children play that I began to realize I had forgotten how. Our formative years are sometimes so dominated by lessons in conformity, responsibility, correction and survival that we forget how to play. Fortunately, as we began to rediscover our own voice and respond to it, playing and laughter naturally return.
ReplyDelete....um, Abbey, that was supposed to be...I'm so glad to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteHi mountain girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments. I do love the feedback. This trillium photo also moved me. There is something so quietly beautiful and sensual about a trillium and when I looked at this photo I felt that. It is one of my favorites.
