everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

~ confucius

Acceptance is the first step to overcome denial. It's understandable to walk the world alone in the comfort of your inner storm. To some, it may appear lonely. Yet, to you, it is your sense of solitude.

 

The refreshing smell of nature that the wind brings with every rain. Doesn't matter if you are drenched. Doesn't matter if you can't see your path ahead clearly. Doesn't matter if even with an umbrella over your head, the rain still pours through. What matters is you can still take a moment to catch your breath.

 

The most favorable moment is when your inner storm becomes your most trusted companion. It is when you realize, you don't need anyone. Or at least, that's what you convince yourself repeatedly.

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path

One of my favorite images from my latest adventure. When taking in a grand waterfall like this, I like to find compositions in the falls themselves to find their inner beauty.

Abstract, long exposure, & tranquility.

Learning to put things aside is one of the most important ways to inner peace.

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. —RAMONA L. ANDERSON

Small inner courtyard of the Stock Exchange Building in Riga,

now the "Art Museum Riga Bourse"

 

"The Riga Stock Exchange building is an architectural monument of national importance. It was built between 1852 and 1855 in the style of a Venetian renaissance palazzo symbolising wealth and plenitude. The design was by the St. Petersburg architect of German origin Harald Julius Bosse (1812-1894). Standing out in the magnificent interior with its lavish use of gilding and artificial marble are the main hall on the ground floor (now the museum’s Great Exhibition Hall, the galleries on the third and fourth floors (now the Western and Oriental Galleries) as well as the ceremonial halls on the fourth floor (now the Painting Galleries). For the first time in history, all theses rooms are open to the public."

"Inner silence promotes clarity of mind; It makes us value the inner world; It trains us to go inside to the source of peace and inspiration when we are faced with problems and challenges." Deepak Chopra

Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1675, dug by Swedish prisoners of war from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660.

It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn for some 18 years.

In the mid-1960s, the Nyhavn Society was founded with the aim of revitalising the area. In 1977, Nyhavn was inaugurated as a veteran ship and museum harbour.

Ezekiel 27:7 King James Version (KJV)

7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.

 

A photographic friend commented on one of my images of dying tulips that what did matter was not the flower's present state, but its inner beauty. I wanted to reflect on this and took another tulip that is on the way out, into my study. It is difficult to avoid the analogy with old age and dying. Like this tulip, I will eventually go. Step by step, and increasingly losing my physical and mental coherence. So, what about my "inner beauty"? If there is such a thing, others might be the first to discover it. I don't think they have. I would not use the adjective "beautiful" for describing my interior landscape. But I have got memories and can work with these. I can apply some of them to this dying tulip and see myself.
