I think a lot about who I used to be and the mistakes that I have made. It’s as if I am afraid to move forward out of fear of being pulled back. Temptation is everywhere… waiting. It waits for you to make a misstep and fall into the deep, dark, cycles of comfort. There is no comfort in growth.

The Inner Me, the Outta Me, something in between, something in the middle, it's above and beyond, but it's all inside me. It's just an idea, an idea of my soul, of my outta me and my inner me, something bigger than that, but never too far. It's near enough, but not touching. It's kind of controlling me. Controlling who? Yes, that's the right question. finally. Ripped and eviscerated.
Macro Mondays: Aging
This poor pepper has been hanging out in the back corner of my vegetable drawer for a while now (damn you Costco and your enticing mega-size packs!) and is looking a little worse for wear. Before sending it to the compost pile, I thought I'd give the aging veggie a last shot at glory and use it for this week's theme.
HMM!
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling,
the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven's river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad. *
*Rabindranath Tagore
GITANJALI
A billion times God has turned man
Into Himself
You stand in line for the
Highest gift
For his generosity cannot end.
But best to bring an instrument along
While waiting in the cold desert
And make some dulcet sounds
To accompany the palms' swaying arms
That are casting silhouettes
Against the sky's curtain
From our fire
Remind the Friend of your desire
And great patience.
A billion times God has turned man
Back into Herself.
We all stand in line
For the highest Gift. *
*Hafiz
I will be back this afternoon/evening to go through your wonderful
photographs & comment......... the weather outside is so
incredible warm and sunny: I just have to go outside! See you...
Dance unto the light,
Sway to the sounds of time,
Watch the angels bright,
As they dance within your mind.
Dance my friend and sway,
To beauty, to laughter, to love,
For this is the most perfect day,
A perfect gift from above!
Dance unto the light,
Catch the stars bright,
For perfect are the angels love,
From the One Most High above!
Dance, dance, dance
As the music plays on,
Dance, Dance, Dance,
As we listen to their song. *

The healing power of Linden flowers...
Linden grows in temperate climates of Europe, Asia, and North America. There are many different species of linden that are used medicinally. Regardless of species, the flower of the plant is the part that is most frequently used in medical preparations. While sometimes referred to as a lime flower, linden is not related to the lime fruit. Linden has been used in European folk medicine for centuries for a wide range of health conditions.
Lotus Flower, Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles, California, USA. Best lotus flowers I have seen until their demise in 2008 for unknown reasons. The city is making plans to bring them back to Echo Park Lake.

She carried her truth like light.
There’s power in stillness, and in this image, she holds it fully — poised, unflinching, and seen.
This is one of the few portraits I have of her, and perhaps the most revealing. Not because of what it shows, but because of what it dares to say:
“This is me.”
After the frigid cold winter, Daffodils and Jonquils (narcissus) have spread everywhere, their bulbs secretly multiplying in the icy cold ground. I have never been so happy to see spring!!
View of the St. Joseph, MI inner lighthouse from above the catwalk. The St. Joseph River on the left flows out into Lake Michigan.
Silvacane, Thoronet, Senanque, these austerely beautiful cistercian abbeys catch your breaths. You could not have imagined such simplicity and spiritual beauty built in stone. Silvacane lies on the left bank of the Durance river. It is the most recent of the three Cistercian abbeys in Provence and the only one that has not continued its monastic activity. The name comes from the Latin "silva cannorum" (forest of reeds). When the monks first settled here, they had to drain swamps before they could build the abbey (begin in 1174) and grow crops, hence the reference to reeds.
THE LIVING CURTAIN
Maybe I should call this one "Trying to look through my window!...
We let the vine grow in front of our window... the colored light that comes into our room is so incredible... and this is from where I take all those autumleaf shots...
Vivid colors at the end of the day. Not such a neat composition but a cool light, i think. Have a great evening everybody and thanks for the 302,256 views!...:)

My daughter Maya Magdalena is going to her first holy communion today.
So this beautiful flower goes in dedication to her and her special day...
This is also the reason for my flickr abstinence for today...
lit only by the flame being thrown inside ..... these balloons are absolutely amazing.....
....and I forgot my tripod...so this was hand held.

Just decided to start a new series.....totally different to my macro photography...
Today I counted the windows of our house... there are 40 of them! So every once
in a while I will take a picture from one of the windows.....until completing the 40 views.
This is the catholic church of our town, St. Laurentius.
The shadow of dim delight
I gave myself up for lost
in the depth of a glad humiliation
---in the shadow of a dim delight.
The repose of the sun-embroidered green gloom
slowly spread over my heart.
I forgot for what I had traveled,
and I surrendered my mind without struggle
to the maze of shadows and songs.
At last, when I woke from my slumber and opened my eyes,
I saw thee standing by me, flooding my sleep with thy smile.
How I had feared that the path was long and wearisome,
and the struggle to reach thee was hard!
