- Post inspired by: “It is only when we are truly alone, without someone else to lean on, left with our own inner solitude that we can undergo a process of change. The introspection that is needed to bring out the light that has dwindled down to ash and reignite the fire of our being. So let the darkness shape you, let it reform you, let it cradle you and birth you into a new life. Let the spark flame again, in the darkness is where you will find it.” — L.J. Vanier, Ether: Into the Nemesis (via Make Believe Boutique)

I’m definitely in that ditch. And I did not realize it until I read what this post was inspired by.

Gorgeous photo…what an evocative mood…to find courage and enjoy the experience. Vanier understands, “With each incarnation comes new lessons, and new experiences. We grow the most through incarnation, the challenges, the long separation from source, through the exploration of the vastness of hosting planets.” All of this can be “lonely” until we befriend ourselves.

Dave; it’s a type of treating your photos (now digitally of course) – dark, mystical, slightly unnerving even, dangerous, cool, modern….
The inventor was an iminent French of many talents:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Daguerre
He was important for photography and his development of pictures on metal plates gave the treatment the name daguerreotype.
You see, we not only learn from you, you can learn from your readers 😉
Lori; you are very right – look up my reply to Dave – it’s all in his photos. I used to love it for treatments of a certain melancholy (around late autumn time or Jan./Febr. shots)…. not that we need that right now. The world is – overall – just dark enough!

It’s a beautiful thought, aloneness is essential to refocus and regenerate. Disassociating with “self” will bring you a long way in the process of re-exploring our presence within the life that exists around us. This is a Buddhist concept which I’m inspired by my current read of the book Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield. 🙏🏻
Beautiful photo! 🙌🏻
