A week later, Caleb wakes up and looks around.

Up from his short nap.

Moments ago, it was sleeping like this,

Awake!

You know that feeling sometimes, when you're drifting off to sleep...when you're right on the edge of lucidity...that moment when you start to feel the weight of your body disappear as you gently fall and let go? Well I had that sensation the other morning, as I was waking up!! I felt euphoric and free, and I was lucid enough to "feel" the sensation of "Falling Awake"! It was the most bizarre experience. I felt completely at peace, my body and mind were floating in the air. I had this feeling that life is so beautiful, and I am so blessed. I felt grateful and full of love. I smiled, with my soul.

I am practicing smiling with my soul, for a few minutes each day. Perhaps in sharing this experience, I will plant a seed that you will try doing so too. "Let It Be", see the beauty of life, have gratitude and "fall awake" every day!

This shot, is untouched as with most of my shots. It is our Don Juan Rose which is leggy and thorny by nature, but the blooms are just the Mack Daddy! Hmmm, Ying and Yang...coincidence??? I think NOT!

Kasim with great difficulty tried to unstuck the eyelids: eyelashes were matted, as if he was crying. Eyes blinded by the light, but blinked a couple of times he realized that the light is not bright. Over him was spread out the tent, and he lay in bed.

I must admit that the Kodachrome shot in full sunlight is special and unique.

I don't sleep anymore.

First photo I've taken in a really long time. It seems that lately I don't do any photography unless something bad happens.

Night draws in and the bird dropping spider starts to show some activity

After her afternoon nap, Molly grabbed Bunny and her new Baby Doll and hopped right back in the wagon.

sort of.

Fresh a the start

It's spring but why is it snowing? Winter has gone.

Totdat ik ooit na heel veel weken

Een nieuwe tandenborstel koop

Dan heeft de tijd de wond geheeld

Dan heeft mijn ziel weer een laag eelt

Een andere man, een andere vrouw

Een nieuwe mij, een nieuwe jou

Ik hou van jou

Ik hou van jou

Ik hou van jou

Op mijn manier alleen van jou

Op mijn manier alleen van jou
