WR -Issue 9 - Joy in the Unexpected
Today's Photo -
a backlit, open-winged, Great White Egret.
I love the beauty and the power of the light shining through the egret's wings. To me it symbolizes bright light, freshness and discoveries for us all, a great way to prepare for the new month and the summer ahead. As an almost-aside, note also how the egret is carefully tending to him/herself.
This picture was one of those wonderful happenings where the unexpectedness and beauty of the light, magically showed up for me when I viewed it on my computer after downloading it. I was not aware of intentionally taking the photo for the lighting.
I've experienced the same excitement, in the past, upon getting a few special fired clay pieces back from the kiln and finding that the glazes had produced unexpected, beautiful images.
Self-Reflecting Queries -
Can you recall times in your life when the unexpected gave you pure joy? Are you an opening for noticing the unexpected in people or situations?
One of my passions is discovering new things - ideas, people, programs, objects in Nature or anywhere else.
What excites you about new situations? If, in fact, you fear them, as some people do, check in with what you know that excites you. I invite you to see if you can bring that to the new or anticipated circumstances in which you find yourself.
