Smooth and wide borrowed
time so little to see it is hard to breathe
but slowly I find the courage to stand
still to allow to open to the winds
and give my lungs what they crave
moisture rich tears sprinkling my face and finally
I am surrounded
with grace (more…)
Caught up in the windy applause
I feel myself sway
bending
this way and that I feel churned

fanned out one with the sands the grasses the shores (more…)

Shining through exposing
Beauty weathered bare (more…)

Constant no beginning
Or end to the rhythm
Your everlasting footprints blurred
You briefly catch yourself up (more…)
An instrument
rusty no time to practice, rustling
springs wilds release
making way (more…)

Looking mysteriously north, over tree tops
The magic seaside confidently big, Pacific
Leaping and curious and daring and creative
My adventure begins
Time to pack, I forgot how
Don't forget how to love you to shine
All wonderful and sleep
Red wild and wish
Light stars and care
Just you tonight to accept
and give
Others see fire and almost night and wish the mystery of their destiny would
Get lost in the magic of the view
But I am living in this blue deep wonderful night sky
You can too

You Me We:
You generate natural awe and inspiration
You easily over take my worried heart
You have my essence when in your presence
You are wind, roots, waves, caves, I feel
You settle down when I dig
You slip into the moist ground (more…)

I first learned of the “rule of thirds” about a year ago, I think. It really struck me as a way to start to see photographs before I actually took them. I found the setting on my camera for the grid and I have used it ever since. Of course, I am still really green and need practice and there are moments where breaking the rules in the face of creativity make sense too. (more…)
