WR Issue 3: Centering


Today's Photo -
the center of a Heart of Palm in Delray Beach.

This image, for me, had the feeling of a mandala and a sense of royalty. I was actually more interested in the center when I first started photographing it. The "results", though, far surpassed what I thought I originally saw and left me feeling regal and excited, wanting to share, which I did with others around me and now with you.

Self-Reflecting Queries -
What feelings come up for you when you view the photo? Where in your life have you been focussed on one thing and when you let it go whole new worlds open up?

This experience was also a reminder of how uplifting and enlivening for me is the experience of focussing with a view finder.

I was selling at an outdoor weekend Art Show. Business was very slow. I was feeling very bored, very fatigued and the minutes were dragging by interminably.

Then my eye was caught up with the way the sunlight was playing with some flowers as I looked up toward the sky. I grabbed my digital camera and started playing and sharing what I was doing with some of the other exhibitors.

I felt like a whole NEW person and found myself thinking, "Oh yes, Sheila. What a great reminder for activities to remember when you're in a slump!".

What in your life turns you on when you are feeling off or down?

For me, in the addition to the discovery of new images through the camera lens, it was also the energy around enthusiastic sharing with others that made a difference.

Do you have a system in place to remind yourself to get in action around it or them? Stickies? Notes to yourself? Physical triggers?
