my love tree

I caught love hanging out on my tree.

my wish for you

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

Tao Te Ching

Tao Te Ching Aphorism 10

Can you coax your mind from its wandering and keep to the original oneness?

Can you let your body become supple as a newborn child's?

Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but the light?

Can you love people and lead them without imposing your will?

Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course?

Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things?

Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.

Lao Tzu (translated by Stephen Mitchell)

saturday

I woke up with a headache this morning and a bit of a scratchy throat, along with a cough that came and went thoughout the day. :( I DO NOT want to be sick right now. School starts on tuesday, my birthday of all days which I don't mind at all. I'm actually pretty excited to be headed back to school. I just want to be in the dark room again. I want to snap my camera at anything and everything. I haven't been on one of my "photo adventures" in a while. The holidays were super hectic at work this year and I wasn't able to get out and about. I usually take my camera, hop on a bus and just go, venture out... all alone. I love doing that, going out on my own. Sometimes I'll go and spend the entire trip without saying a word, just observe... people, buildings, trees, cars / buses passing on the streets etc. etc. Most days I take my journal with me and sit in the park. I love those days, I love all days but those days help. I get to think things through, I get to be creative... write, draw, take pictures.
I've been writing alot lately. I had been struggling with writers block for quite a while. Mid-November it just came, out of nowhere I picked up a pen and started writing again. It made me go back to my old writings / poetry I had hidden away, read through all of it. Brought back memories of how I was feeling at the time of those writings, I was a totally different person then. It was a bit weird to see how much I've changed... grown. Totally in a good way though because I like the person I've become. More positive... more open... more loving. The new me is pretty rad, a bit of a dork but I embrace that dorkiness. haha!!
I've been wanting to get up and go lately. Go anywhere, everywhere... but I've opted to stay put this time and focus on school. And I am so proud of myself for doing so. Besides I have the summer to travel, well hopefully if I have enough money left after the semester is over. Photo supplies can get expensive. It will be worth it.
It sure will.
