whether you are someone adept at going "out on a limb" or "the last to leave the stage" - enjoy those precious moments of spaciousness and sunshine. we each have the capacity and wisdom of knowing when to hang on or when to let go.

This I an orb spider I saw riding on my car antenna on the way to work. I decided to save it so it wouldn't fly off on the ride home, so put it on paper and in a cup, where it sat all day on my desk. I took it back home and let it go in the garden.

Please view on black?

we often depend on ourselves.

whether it is our abilities, our visions, our judgement, or our moral standard.

but in this mortal world, everything that has a beginning would come to end someday.

look at the world we're living today, trees die, air is polluted, people change in circumstances, and consciousness and analytical ability might well go down as we age.

then, why would we still want to depend on things that are not truly reliable?

my friends, i wish to share with you this message that we are not in the driving seats of this world, nor in our lives..

it may sound sad and unacceptable but it's true.

we hold and control nothing, for we are created. we are no hosts.

let go, and depend on God, who created this world and everything in it including you and me.

let God be the host in your life, for everything IS because of him..

Nijmegen Centrum. De controle uit handen geven. Terwijl ik bezig was met een raam waarop "Neem die stap" stond, vroeg een van twee voorbijgangers: “Zal ik een foto maken van jou en je hond?”

Haar vriendin voegde er lachend aan toe: “Zij is fotografe!”

En zo stond ik ineens — in plaats van erachter — voor mijn eigen camera, samen met Thiemo. 🐾

🇬🇧 Downtown Nijmegen. Letting go of control. I was working on a window that said “Take that step” when one of two friends walking by asked, “Shall I take a photo of you and your dog?”

Her friend added with a smile: “She’s a photographer!”

And just like that, I found myself — instead of behind it — in front of my own camera, with Thiemo. 🌿

Week 10

Sometimes it’s all it takes, letting go of things that weight us down, things that can’t happen.

A personal and intricate feeling that we return to in so many moments of our lives. As deep or as shallow as letting go of something might be, they are always necessary.

This week i ended up letting go of a bigger picture i had envisioned for this theme. Sometimes one has to do it, as hard as it may be.

_______

We're six friends, photographers, creating an annual project through 52 weeks. If you want to join us in this adventure please use the hashtag #52sisterhoodproject and create a self-portrait around this week's theme. We can't wait to see everything!

Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head.

and again, FLICKR SHARPENING, my dear sometimes i hate you.

From my Brickshelf gallery.

This is a picture of my grandma( September 21st, 2008), who is battling this horrible disease. I love her but what do you say in a moment like this?

**Update** Dec.13th 2008**

Grandma's brain has basically disintegrated, they can't do anything about it , they dont know how long she will stay how she is now or get worse, but they do know she wont get any better. They said now that we know we should try to see her as much as possible , we dont know how much time she has left .

The day steps back,

but does not vanish.

The trees hold its outline,

not to keep it –

but to honour it.

Some goodbyes

don’t need words.

i was always accused of being a dreamer...to freaking bad ...i love my dreams....only thing missing is the westie these suitcases should be in.... :)

We pass by strangers not letting them see who we really are.
