a lurking essay?

March 19, 2013 by Cynthia

I can’t yet see the words but I feel them, somewhere, somehow, embodied in this apple with its lovely leaf. Yes, a weight of hidden words. I hope to find them before the month’s end, to glimpse their fragile figures before they disappear into the ether. Or at least before the apple disappears inside me.

The leaf looks so fuzzy this close up, although I usually think of apple leaves as being smooth. And the speckles on the leaf mirror those on the apple. I wonder if I’d have noticed all those lovely details if this had not been a monochrome photo?

  I definitely noticed those details more without the “distraction” of color. 😉
