Partnering Forever
This image holds out the first names of my wife and myself. Eilene, although not a common spelling is said to mean "bringer of light". Although I did little with regard to photography before retiring 16 years ago she did bring "light" in all forms into our shared journey. If it's one thing anyone who is destined to pick up a camera needs it is light and Eilene has contributed greatly to my body of work. My name, John, is most often said to mean " ... graced" or favored by a higher power. Together we have had a lot of light and experienced much "grace". In a way the objects selected for this photo perhaps show how it works.
For our 40th Wedding anniversary a Chinese friend at work created a hanging ornament with an explanation for the arrangement and meaning of the Chinese characters to mean "Partnering Forever!" We have kept it along with his original attachment hanging prominently where we see it often. It's appropriately shared for this Smile on Saturday as we will celebrate our 57th anniversary in a few days. Happy SoS everyone.
