The icy patterns that form on the inside of the windows in the old house where I live. The first time this season. Now it feels like winter. 🙂

in copley square near sunset

I asked a certain physicist to help me understand what happened in the sky near sunset in Copley Square. We discussed the interplay of light and shadow. How the sun below the horizon was illuminating the clouds from below. How the sharp line in the sky might result from shadows cast by something on the horizon. Then of course there were the clouds at different altitudes. Shorter wavelength blue light scattered out. Longer wavelength red light left behind. In the end all we could agree upon was that it was beautiful.
The sun set today in Boston at 4:27 pm.

best wishes for the new year

Happy New Year! No doubt it will be an interesting one.
Best wishes for peace and prosperity and an awareness of the beauty in the world around us.
Strength and courage will be necessary I suspect. As for New Year goals …
… I’ve made none, not really, except perhaps a commitment to continue to pause and to pause without expectation. These photos I took while pausing inside Trinity Church.
It has been my pleasure to photograph there many times over the years.
Each time there is always something new to see in the tower, on the walls, in the windows and even on the doors.
We’ll see what 2017 holds. 🙂

there is no deeper meaning

I simply needed to move. To get up. To get unstuck. And so I rose and walked over to the flower vases. They sit upon one of the small tables in the kitchen. I am a very lucky person … they are currently full of flowers.
I selected a stem and tugged free a few petals, arranged them on a plate, in no particular order except for the order they formed upon falling. More flowers I picked …
With the motion eventually came a bit of creative release. And joy at the beauty I have before me.
I am a very lucky person. 🙂
in an age of uncertainty, hope versus optimism
Posted in Inspiration, tagged activism, culture, hope, Inspiration, Photography, Rebecca Solnit on December 26, 2016| 3 Comments »
In the words of Rebecca Solnit, “It’s very important to say that hope is not optimism. Optimism is a sense that everything’s going to be fine no matter what we do. Hope is something completely different. The kind of activist hope I believe in is that, although we don’t know what will happen, that uncertainty still means there’s grounds for intervening even without being sure of the outcome.”
