Part of the genesis of the story referenced in the previous post, about The Long Walk, was an accidental 26 mile walk I took a few months ago. Now, people keep asking me, “How do you accidentally walk a marathon?” Well, let me tell you, it is possible, if you keep wondering what’s around the bend.

Call and Response with the Sun*
Sun, will you shine in my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, will you shine, brightening my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, will you shine in my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, my sweet sun, will your light fill this world?
Yes, Lord! Yes, indeed, I will try.
*Lyrics composed while sittin’ in the sun.

A few blossoms found by the seashore this weekend. They suddenly glowed in a shaft of afternoon light.
One of those unexpected sights that made many a person pause, and one older gentleman even exclaimed, “What a glorious day it has turned out to be.”

I know. That was horrible. But I just couldn’t help myself with that title. I’ll try to be more disciplined with my words next time. Meanwhile, I hope you have had a good day. 😉

A friend picked these up at a local farmers market. I thought she described them as currants but someone else called them gooseberries.
While their tart taste is not to my liking, I do appreciate the variation in shades of color.
I especially like the intricacy of the husks.
I probably won’t purchase anymore but this little batch did make for a great procrastination photo shoot. 😉

I have this pair of earrings that sit on the windowsill. They are broken but their beauty is such that I cannot make myself throw them away. When I get into a cleaning mood, when I just want to create some space, I almost reach for them. But then the light … yes, always the light … will strike the pieces revealing a uniqueness that once tossed I will never find again. That is the thought that came to mind this morning as I found this image on my camera. I often have trouble labeling a photo but instantly the words “broken light” appeared in my head. And those two words brought to mind an inspiring blog, Broken Light: A Photography Collective. The site presents the powerful words and images of those living with, or affected, by mental illness. If you have not had a chance to view Broken Light, I highly recommend a visit. 😉
