“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

I wanted a little man in front, with my own parents in mind for this (my Momma passed 14 years ago)...but the little old lady and her finger won me over. I also wanted this a bit sharper, but I guess this adds to the dreaminess. ;)
Happy Monday Everyone!!

Winter is hard right now in Scandinavia. Minus 30 degrees Celsius in nightime. No wonder we long for springtime...

Active Assignment Weekly March 2 - 9: Double Exposure
WIT: Since my camera has the ability to do double exposure in-camera, I thought I would try it for this assignment. Took the picture of me first, then took a picture of a picture on my wall of Japanese handkerchiefs. There happened to be a vase of dried flowers nearby, so I took advantage of that too. The window is actually a reflection off the glass of the picture. In post, just a crop to 8 by 10, and a very slight tweaking of colour.
How might a spirit settle in the wind?
After death, how might a soul find peace?
Love lasts long after lips and laughter cease,
Leaving only memories behind.
Out of longings, one might linen spin,
Weaving well the welkin edged with fleece.
Each spirit must from wandering seek release,
Else ever through the weary midnights wend,
Not resting till love's angels dark descend
"There is always a place in our heart for everything we are missing, for everything we don't know.
It's a tiny space full of silence ready to be filled with orange, with the sea, with cold, with sugar or with pain.
When that space is filled, it tells our heart what we should feel and if we should miss these things.
But sometimes it tells our heart with a sweet voice, that we can miss something, but we will miss it forever.
And our heart has to take it, and keep that sweet memory of something we can't have.
Longing is a hard word, that tastes bitter in my lips.
But forever is a word that sometimes tastes bitter in my heart."
Thank you Madalena for being in this concept. I know we won't be feeling this. We will always be close. And now that we know each other, every road, every path is only that. A way for our crazy minds to meet again!
And keep those spiders way =)
