I don't always start with a photo, but this time I have. I love this photo and the use of light and dark. It is an image of hope to me that in the darkness, there is light.

Last week, I went out with a photographer friend of mine, the same man who did my very beautiful professional shots of my work. We went to the same places and took dramatically different shots. As humans, we go to the same places, go through same events and come out with completely different experiences. I find this fascinating. We are all the same, as we are all human. We are all of the same stuff, but different persons, visions and words. Somehow we can connect to each other. Maybe we do this through our humanity. The mystery of humanity. What makes us a human, and what makes our different views connect with others? All I know is that we are of the same stuff. There is only one race, and that is the human race, but each of us holds a gift to share with others and give light in this darkened world.

Feeling Fine.

For the first time since the last time I blogged, I feel almost perfectly fine. I have been battling a terrible virus, and now think things are back to were I can work like I like to work. Energy is back and my mind feels focused again. I hate being sick. I know that probably I should accept it and take it as a time to reflect and create in other ways, but I always find that I fight against the illness. I hate the weakness that comes with it because I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it. Anyway, I have taken more time to reflect than I normally would. I have stopped because I had to. I wonder what I have learned from this, maybe only time will tell....
