i may be saving on school tuition, but i realised that i still spend too much on useless things.
just me re-evaluating myself.
The Easter week at Shree Peetha Nilaya was blessed with blue skies, warm sun, and flowers and trees blossoming everywhere. Everything seemed to reflect the theme of new beginnings. Easter is an intense focus on God and God's plan, and everyone present honoured and celebrated this through scripture, song, self-reflection and community. Finishing with the traditional midnight/early morning singing and dancing, and the ever-popular Easter Sunday lunch, it was a powerful way to recognise spiritual transformation and a new understanding of life.

While Fabiola and I were covering the National Cycling Olimpic Games taking place in Aguascalientes I found this guy with such cool refleting sunglasses so I seized my chance.
Earlier today I took a picture as I was leaving on an errand, showing the reflective surface of my wife's car, and an open garage door (a good thing to check for before driving away). Well, it has since come to my attention that today's assignment was about taking a reflected selfie when leaving! So, as I left for the evening Advent service at my church, I took a photo through the edge of the Christmas tree, with my face and camera reflected in the patio door.
We're Here! taking reflected selfies before leaving home.

No pet sits (hurray)! Went to Serenbe and got lost on the way, I had to ask about 4 different people for directions. I finally found it. Ate at the Blue-Eyed Daisy, wasn't a fan. Drove the scenic route back through Union City, College Park, East Point... Went to a dinner party with friends then went to the Colannade for dinner with the fam- nasty.

Outtake of another self portrait I did a while ago.. man I'm in a rut. Haven't taken any new photos in a while. I hate winter. This is the Photo from which the outtake came originally and you can see how they are a bit similar.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
for 365 and FGR invades self reflection.
Ghosts were never something I put a whole lot of stock in. Then my dad passed away and the weirdest things started happening at my mom's house. It took me a while to actually step across the line and confess to anyone that I believe he was there for a bit after he died. It makes me sound like a crazy lunatic. Maybe it is just wishful thinking? Maybe it was just coincidence? Maybe it was just a way to make myself feel better about missing him so much?
Or maybe he really was there.
"Self-reflection,prayer,rituals, meditation and other spiritual practices have the power to release the "life force" in the deepest levels of the human psyche, levels that secular interventions cannot reach. In Native American culture this is seen through their respect and love for the world around them."
This was an exert from one of my many psych essays, how does this correlate to the photo above?
Easy, see photography is my sort of self reflection, a time for prayer, and meditation all at once. Through it, I reach that sense of self and fight through the ego to the most sacred part of the human mind. Just like the Natives love their earth, its beauty and its gifts; I wonder each day how this world never ceases to be any more perfect while surrounded by humanly imperfection and destruction. In these moments is when love can be felt in its truest nature, you feel one with the world. You reach nirvana.
On another note, I need new lenses and a good camera cleaning.
