Day ends, and before sleepwhen the sky dies down, consideryour altered state: has this daychanged you? Are the cornerssharper or rounded off? Did youlive with death? Make decisionsthat quieted? Find one clear wordthat fit? At the sun's midpointdid you notice a pitch of absence,bewilderment that invitesthe possible? What did you learnfrom things you dropped and picked upand dropped again? Did you set a strawparallel to the river, let the flowcarry you downstream?Jeanne Lohmann

Lovely softness here.
Delightful.
"Did you set a straw parallel to the river, let the flow carry you downstream?" I love this line! I will carry the vision of this as I go about my day today... Thank you...
This is my all time favorite photo of yours...so far! I just love it because that's my favorite place to be at twilight in the world. Sitting on a beautiful, old weathered dock, beside a lake watching the fading, changing light as the sun goes down. You've captured it beautifully!
