Today's Photo -
an example of what I call my "Accidental Art ". I evidently moved the camera while photographing an orange-colored pod in a tree and wound up with a picture that I love.
For me, the picture is almost a spiritual one, with the bright light in the center and the muted rainbow colors all around.
Insofar as finding images, I did see a couple, and maybe a family, in the upper left. Husband Sam saw a woman with big breasts, and a friend saw a large bear.
What comes up for you?
Self-Reflecting Queries -
I refer to my "Accidental Art" the original source of my unique photo/drawings. I had just purchased a color printer and a scanner and brought a couple of prints with me to a meeting so I could "play." I started doodling on one of the prints.
Out of what I discovered from that, a whole new art form and business evolved, resulting from simply playing and doodling, then paying attention. It actually became an "Accidental Business." See naturesplayground.com My business, eTeletours.com, another "Accidental Business" was started out of such a conversation. I was on a nature walk, talking with a friend on my cell phone, describing what I was seeing. One thing led to another, to another AND a new business resulted!Can you think of times in your life when you created something new, perhaps wonderful, out of the totally unexpected, simply by being with what was happening and being an opening to it?
If so, what were you doing, how were you being that caused the result? Open? Fearless? Excited? Delighted with discovering something new? Non-judgmental? and/or ???? (You name it.) I invite you take those characteristics the next time you are faced with a "mistake." To start developing patterns, I also invite you to take a few minutes today to pause and look around you in new ways. What do you notice that you haven’t seen before? I invite you also to see what opens up in other areas of your life out of paying attention - noticing.
Inspirationally,
