Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁

...

She’s walking east to west, and I west to east. It’s a really nice April morning.

 

Wish I could talk to her. Half an hour would be plenty: just ask her about herself, tell her about myself, and - what I’d really like to do - explain to her the complexities of fate that have led to our passing each other on a side street in Harajuku on a beautiful April morning in 1981. This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock build when peace filled the world.

 

After talking, we’d have lunch somewhere, maybe see a Woody Allen movie, stop by a hotel bar for cocktails. With any kind of luck, we might end up in bed.

 

Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart. .

Time after time

Alone in the city of whirling blossoms

Those petals fly in the whirling wind

The miracle of meeting you

In a city where the wind whispered through

The hanamidou tells of the end of spring

One petal from this misty flower.

She'll move tones onto skin with the undefinable curiosity of a child having discovered sidewalk chalk for the first time: splattering blues like ink spots and white like cirrus, greens like tips of pine swaying in storm and red like feathers on wooden arrow through open sky.

 

So if you give a photographer a paintbrush, give her time to be a poet too.

...

One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:

 

She is the 100% perfect girl for me.

 

He is the 100% perfect boy for me.

 

But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.

 

A sad story, don’t you think?

 

Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .

Today was a good day to take photos in the bathroom in our house - it has no windows and we were under a tornado watch. Now the sun is out.

 

I used another one of Mom's glass paperweights and the Run Forest Run glass to create the original photo. Used Lightroom to change image to B&W leaving the magenta coloring. Used Photoshop to add the overlays, textures and borders using Layer Masks.

01/20/09 – Day 20 of 365

 

On occasion, we are graced with sunsets such as this in Illinois. I have never photographed such a scene until today! This project motivated me to whip my car off the road and actually get out of my warm car after a long day of work to stand in 7° weather on the loading dock side of Lowes (I know, not exactly an exotic locale)! My shooting finger was quite numb after a mere 10 shots; but I am so glad I stopped! The colors on display over the frigid landscape were quite breathtaking!
