Vested

A quick morning shot,

a day off work,

going to be

very hot weather,

not very thrilled with

the shots, bright light

in a window can be tricky

Shhhh.....

"We need quiet time

to examine our lives
 
openly and honestly...

spending quiet time alone

gives your mind an opportunity

to renew itself and create order.

~Susan Taylor

Curled Up

In order to develop love ~ 

universal love, cosmic love,

whatever you would like to call it ~

one must accept

the whole situation of life as it is,

both the light and the dark,

the good and the bad.

One must open oneself to life,

communicate with it.

~Chogyam Trungpa

sorry i haven't posted in a while,

was working on some different photography

landscapes and architecture

playing tourist here in the Valley of the Sun

my way of hiding from other things

Sundress

After a good workout at the gym, 

I like to peel out of the workout clothes, 

and slip into something cool and comfortable.  

By the time the sun sinks in the sky, 

I can go out and give my cacti a drink of water.

 Take a look at yourself in the mirror.

Who do you see looking back?

Or is there someone else you were meant to be?

The person you should have been but fell short of?

Is someone telling you you can’t or you won’t?

Because you can.

Believe that love is out there.

Believe that dreams come true everyday,

because they do.

On.Love

When it comes to love:

"We humans -- at least some of us -- are seriously flawed.

The things that are the most necessary,

the most critical to us,

are the things we take most for granted.

Air.

Water.

Love.

If you have someone to love, you are lucky.

If you have someone to love you back, you're blessed.

And if you waste the time you have to love them, you're a fool."

Evening

i sat reading a book

as the afternoon

drifted into evening

and a shaft of light

poured through my window.

i couldn't resist

grabbing

 

my

camera

Doorway

"Love, look in my window

Love, knock on my door,

Oh, Love, come in and stay a while"

 "Follow your bliss 

and the universe 

will open doors for you 

where there were only walls.  

~Joseph Campbell

“Sex is a doorway 

to something 

so powerful 

and mystical..... 

~David Lynch

“We don't do it for the glory.
We don't do it for the recognition...
We do it because it needs to be done.
Because if we don't, no one else will.
And we do it even if no one knows
what we've done.
Even if no one knows we exist.
Even if no one remembers we ever existed.”
― Kara, Supergirl

Sometimes with all
that goes on in Life,
a Gal feels like
she had to be
Supergirl

Love

Love is something you and I must have. 

We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. 

We must have it because without it we become weak and faint.
Without love our self-esteem weakens. 

Without it our courage fails. 

Without love we can no longer look confidently at the world. 

We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities, 

and little by little we destroy it ourselves. 

With it we are creative. 

With it we march tirelessly. 

With it and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.

- Chief Dan George

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.
~Chief Dan George
 

I strayed away from the "love" theme I wanted to include, and happened across this quote by Chief Dan George ... sounds like a wise old chief to me!  Find him on Wiki if you want to learn more. :)  ~Gal

Window

Sunshine  

is  

delicious...

i like how the glass door

distorts just a little

Sunshine

“Art is the window to man's soul. 

Without it, he would never be able 

to see beyond his immediate world; 

nor could the world see the man within.”

~Claudia Lady Bird Johnson



























When dawn

erupts with sunshine,

it fills our heart

with warmth,

hope,

and happiness.
