Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Thy precious time misspent, redeem,
Each present day thy last esteem,
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.
By influence of the Light divine
Let thy own light to others shine.
Reflect all Heaven’s propitious ways
In ardent love, and cheerful praise.

How fickle my heart
and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find
any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles
on things I don't know
This weakness I feel
I must finally show
Lend me your hand
and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart
and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes
I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep,
Totally free.

The sun spreads its light from behind the cover of the clouds to bring warmth to the rice fields in Caroni, Trinidad and Tobago. Rice has been commodity historically grown by the East Indian farmers in the country. The swamp lands in Caroni, central Trinidad, situate at the foothills of the Northern Range provides a perfect location for rice farming.
"Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire"
Kind of awake anyway... but definitely wet.
I think it might be a Leafcutter bee but not sure.
Focus stacked using Zerene.
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life

I feel the need to mention this, because some people don't appreciate the hard work that goes into these double exposures. I don't make these images in Photoshop. These are not "edits". I take them with painstaking focus, and wait days, sometimes weeks looking for the perfect complement.
I would absolutely love to create my images in Photoshop. It would save me hours of time and disappointment, and I would undoubtedly have more images to share. However, that isn't enjoyable, and it isn't photography. I do what I do because it's challenging and fun, and because I'm a photographer, not a digital artist.
It is Monday morning and, whether you like it or not, you are awake, running in a field with the wind, finding yourself a little girl with too much energy for such a small body. The wind is around you. The wind is inside of you.
You are awake and you will survive this day.

Morning Awakes ~
What kind of love
Embraces this wild world
With such a welcome?
What love is this, that
Contains such
Darkness and strife
When the world
Refuses to conform
To our demands for
Outer peace,
And then wraps us
In such wonder
And grace?
Fear, war, starvation,
And so much else
Are included in the
Grace of morning light
On a darkened world.
In the light’s first
Touch of a leaf
There is something that
Embraces all of what we are
And includes us
In the full circle
Of life as it is.
We see that we are
Something whole
And seamless,
And perfect.
The heart of each morning
Offers with outstretched hands,
An expansion, a release
Out off our self-made prisons
Into a world ruled by a love
That excludes nothing,
A love we can trust,
A love at peace
With all things.
Even this, and this, and
Especially and
Whole-heartedly
This.**)))
