We don’t dress up for Halloween anymore. Kids in our neighborhood typically favor community gatherings for trick-or-treat rather than walking along door-to-door. Our decorations are pretty much limited to a few pumpkins and a pot of Chrysanthemums. But I still love the sense of play and make-believe that comes with Halloween. And those who decorate tend to go all out. When people live out their passion and joy, we can feel it and it draws us in.
“I hold still, photograph this world with just
my eyes, forget the news. My heart is here,
filled with gratitude as I fade and disappear."
—Part Of The Landscape, Joan Mazza
“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.”
—Ansel Adams
As I work my way through the messiness of life, I’m taking advice from the "Mother of Mindfulness."
“Put certainties aside and tune-in.”
“By recognizing that there are multiple ways of understanding virtually everything, over time we become less judgmental.”
“The ways we are taught are good approximations, but then make it your own.”
