Lenora: My oldest son played soccer when he was a little guy. . . but he didn't like being in the middle of a kicking frenzy. Much preferred digging in the dirt with sticks along the sidelines.

riikainfinityy: ouch!

Washi: Next time, I'd do rapid fire sequence shots to get more of the action.

Great action shot. Seeing kids play is refreshing, as opposed to inside on the video games.

A Virgin a Day: Day Seven

Image
"Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World" - created on Polyvore.com/merimagic I call her  "Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World." She is omnipresent, all-seeing, all-knowing. She is in the song of the birds, the preternatural stillness before the tornado, the glow on the margin of the horizon as the sun rises or sets with the turn of the earth. She is in every molecule of our bodies, in every grain of our spirits. We are breathing air that she once  inhaled and exhaled in her mortal state. She dreams clouds, showers in the rain. Her heart bursts, leaking joy, when we laugh. So laugh long and often. Our Lady has known enough sadness. you breathe miracles into being, Mary mine unloose the sacred A Virgin a Day Haiku My Heart

Sepia Saturday: Revisiting the Past

I don't think I've ever done a Sepia Saturday using my own pictures, but here goes. I see myself as a somber four-year old and wonder, "What is that little girl thinking?" My eyes seem to hold too much knowledge and wisdom for someone who'd been such a short time on earth, this time around at least.

Now I look at her, her youthful exuberance so plainly showing, and I wonder, "If she knew then what I know now, would she have made choices differently?" Would she still believe in happy endings, that one man could be  the love of a lifetime? Would she have been more cautious in giving her heart, less willing to elevate other people's needs above her own? There are no do-overs, ...
