A sign from…

the universe.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some days are just golden; almost like an affirmation that the choices you’re making are right.

A friend is fond of telling me that if you just let go the universe will provide and I can no longer argue with that sentiment.

My week-end was amazing. The weather was incredible and the lake that I frequent couldn’t have been more beautiful. Afterwards, a perfect, early summer evening was graced with clear skies, some unusual aurora arc activity, and a fly over of the international space station.

This all leads me to have faith.

Have faith and keep your camera ready to capture the moments.

 

The place…

that grounds you.

Edgar Allen Poe

It’s believed in Celtic tradition that natural objects such as a stone can anchor a thought.

Much like an altar can be a sacred place for prayer this same idea exists for me within the sacredness of natural places.

I’ve photographed at this location many times, at all hours of the day and night, and there’s something calming and centering about being there.

Magic really and all the better when shared…

Going…

Rumi

Life’s a lot like a camera. You can slide it onto that auto setting and accept the images that it creates for you or you can take control and choose every setting yourself.

A friend once told me that if I could only let go the universe would provide.

She got “the look” followed by an eye roll just for emphasis.

However the science geek in me loves a good experiment so I did let go.

Turns out there really are a thousand ways to go home again.
