sia_ky: A Few Words on the Soul
by Wislawa Szymborska
translated from the Polish by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh
We have a soul at times.
No one’s got it non-stop,
for keeps.
Day after day,
year after year
may pass without it.
Sometimes
it will settle for awhile
only in childhood’s fears and raptures.
Sometimes only in astonishment
that we are old.
It rarely lends a hand
in uphill tasks,
like moving furniture,
or lifting luggage,
or going miles in shoes that pinch.
It usually steps out
whenever meat needs chopping
or forms have to be filled.
For every thousand conversations
it participates in one,
if even that,
since it prefers silence.
Just when our body goes from ache to pain,
it slips off-duty.
It’s picky:
it doesn’t like seeing us in crowds,
our hustling for a dubious advantage
and creaky machinations make it sick.
Joy and sorrow
aren’t two different feelings for it.
It attends us
only when the two are joined.
We can count on it
when we’re sure of nothing
and curious about everything.
Among the material objects
it favors clocks with pendulums
and mirrors, which keep on working
even when no one is looking.
It won’t say where it comes from
or when it’s taking off again,
though it’s clearly expecting such questions.
We need it
but apparently
it needs us
for some reason too.

"Something New" felt like a hard one to nail down. It was towards the end of the day that I was reading Keene State's paper, The Equinox, that I noticed it's publish date was today. It felt like a bit of a stretch, but with the day quickly running out I decided that this was going to be it for today.
It's an interesting pressure, this act of creating something every day - of capturing a moment every day that's tied to a theme or an idea. Looking back over this month's photos, it's changed the way I think about the days going by. It's slowed down time, stretched it out in some strange way. Maybe that's one of the reasons that I find this challenge so exciting.
The days before we went on our trip to Austria, I thought about not taking challenge pictures on holiday. But because it is so much fun, I decided to go on with it.
I had hoped to take a picture of a blue sky and a white ski run, but...the sky was grey all day long, so I took a picture of this stained glass window inside our hotel instead.
Strangely, I love scrubbing off (most) of the grease spots on my pots and pans. They're always so super shiny when I'm done.
These are my clean dishes, waiting to be put away.
I needed more pants, so I took my two bags of things to get rid of and came home with only one pair of pants, but two skirts, including a leather one that was only $4! I consider this a win.
Gymboree was having an excellent sale, so I couldn't resist. Today she's wearing this shirt, plus a grey skirt, plus green leggings with those same flowers and cute turtles all over them. I cannot tell you how adorable she looks.
on our way home from AZ this weekend, we stopped by the Giants spring training camp. we thought we would just get a new hat for Dan, but we were able to go out and watch some of the team practice! it was so awesome. we even stayed around to see some of the players and the girls were able to get 4 autographs. this is Jeremy Affeldt and he was super nice to the girls!
Some days I know exactly what I’m going to photograph, and other days I’m not entirely sure until I start looking for something to catch my attention.
I had a piece of chocolate in the afternoon, and I was surprised by how pink the foil wrapper was. It got me wondering first if I could make a heart shape out of it, and then what I would do to give it some dimension.
This simple heart is just a candy wrapper on a paperclip - but it almost feels sail-like.
I feel like these challenges keep surprising me. Some of these photos aren’t particularly inspiring, but every once in a while there’s one that feels like it really sticks out to me. I think it’s the same metaphor for creative work in general. You have to keep working in order to find the real gems in your art.
My daughter gave me a Valentine this morning. I am totally digging the groovy graphics on these valentines.
day 55/366 : inside my bathroom cabinet
One of my most favorite displays in the house is in the bathroom! lol I just adore the beach-y theme (without being too 'nautical')

I'm NEVER on the other side of the camera. Almost annoyingly so. This picture was taken about 2 years ago in Photo Booth. It's the only picture of me I can say I actually like, unless you go back to the 70's and I don't have any of those handy.
I seriously dislike having my picture taken. I'm either super shy or really vain. Or both.

While I love the capabilities of modern machines, I often find myself looking backward in time to when machines were beautiful as well as functional; combining jewel-like delicacy with solid practicality. This is why I was utterly spellbound by the contents of the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris (France) last year.
"Objects, simple objects, and yet, the world regularly stops in an hourglass, the ocean dries up in a clepsydra, each small watch carries the entire universe within in."
