Perspective

Browsing a random folder in my library to find a photo for this is proving to be a helpful meditation. It forces me to remember that each was one of thousands of beautiful moments I have to cherish. And, because I had my camera with me, moments I can share. Moments to keep my heart from breaking when the 'now' feels desolate & bleak for so many reasons... when friends are dealing with pains I cannot help with... when disaster feels imminent...

I will remember and be grateful for this moment. Looking up and sideways at a beautiful line of birch bark curls while breathing in the crisp winter forest air. Imagine yourself there, for that moment, and take a deep breath with me. I hope it helps some.
