I am learning to see.
I don’t know why it is,
but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

👌🌟
Yes, you are, aren’t you?
And we benefit from it!
Well that’s Good!
I needed to see your calming, soothing photos this morning….
What Susan said. I’m desperately searching for anything beautiful, peaceful, CALM right now….
Yep. Surreal world we live in.
Surreal…not the first word that sprang to my mind, but sure, we can go with that….😔
Ha. Yes.
And the challenge becomes… as I learn to see and listen and feel deeply, all my senses awakened, it is not just ‘the good’ that enters. It is all of it.
Your images this morning enter and touch those raw parts that are on alert, waiting. waiting. waiting for news that is still too soon to tell.
Thank you for the peaceful respite and the reminder to see the beauty and let it wash away the anxiety. To feel the Love and let it embrace the fear.
Thank you Louise. Images were so inspiring.
It shows and resonates. <3
And thank you for the inspiration you leant to my blog this morning! Much needed.

Lovely photo series and accompanying words, David. True sensitivity is not always easy to live with.
Thank you Jet. Agree!
David!!! What day is it?
I know! I blew it 2 days in row. I have totally come off the rails!!!
I saw the one that went rogue on Monday or Tuesday (can’t remember which day), but thought you’d re-post it today. As for coming off the rails, join the rest of the world. Everything is a bit crazy just now. Maybe Caleb will be back next Wednesday?
Who knows?????
nice!!!!!!
Thanks!
A rosy dawn! Say it’s true…
Rilke always takes us beyond our limits.
Thank you for your affinity with what we need.
Well put Valerie.
Such a vivid sunrise…the words of Rilke point to growth of Soul…
Yes!
The other evening everything was pink like this. It was amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Great!
WLS and WSS…feeling everything farther and more deeply than i used to…
Yep
beautiful photos – I guess you were happy when the clocks turned back so that the sun is rising a bit earlier…
Yes!!!!!
You can’t do better than citing Rilke!!!
You learn to see, I lose my sight… – I am learning to see more and better with my heart and soul.
Agree!
Hope you are well, today…it is Nov 5th and “National Red Head Day”
Ha!
Thought that would be a, ha!
