I think someone needs to get Konmari-ed in my house! I can only dream of a calm and serene space like yours. Love the photograph!

Thank you! I hadn’t intended to write this but when I sent the photo to a friend, and she replied, the seed of the story sprouted.

Thank you for this. Especially the reminder about noticing shadows and reflections as a gateway. Very powerful!

Thank you for saying this. What I love about shadows and reflections is that they pop up often. Like the ever-present invitation to notice the breath, they are everywhere.

Exactly! Constant invitations to slow down and notice. This thought reminded me of a series of photos I took many years ago of my Flamepoint Persian sitting in squares of sunlight on the wall or on the floor. I thought of turning them into paintings called "Square of the Sun." I may see if I still have those photos!

You always have had a very good eye. That is a special talent. It shows in so much of what you do, but especially in your photography.

I appreciate your feedback - I always get a kick out of their spoofs but not everybody shares the same sense of humor. But all those bags and bags of too-muchness 🤣
