There are times when my head is crammed so full of worries,
places to be, or lists to do; there is no room for creative whims or
inspiration. Other times when I get out
of my head and into my heart, I can hear quiet whispers urging me to do this or
that. Ideas not voiced from my head, but
only heard and felt from my heart. These
inspirations can be followed by excuses from my mind, reasons it
wouldn’t be possible, or practical, to do ‘that’ now because of x, y or z. After the excuses sometimes I hear another quiet
whisper from my heart, ‘If not now, when?’
My photograph today was textured with Kim Klassen's texture 0603. I am joining Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday, where the theme
today is Black and White. I am also
joining Be Still 52, a new Kim Klassen class where Kim urges us to take a
moment to be still everyday and let that stillness seep into our images.
Thank you so much for stopping by!!
Have a great week!

I so agree sometimes that whisper is so quiet you can hardly hear it.. A wonderful image..

ReplyDeleteYour photo and message today were an answered prayer for me. I've been pondering a few goals - ideas for our future and my work as a photographer, and your thoughtful quote and comments gave me the little push I needed to step out of my comfort zone and try some new things. Your photo is compelling in the way that only simple can be - thank you!
