“Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you’d be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings.”
– Rumi
That is one spectacular photo! My mouth fell right open when it appeared on my screen. The entire post made my day! You are so amazing!
No words can explain what i felt after viewing this shot and words of Rumi..thank you for sharing such an outstanding piece.All the best from Istanbul, Zeynep
Hey A,
One of my favorite quotes, thanks for pairing it brillantly with this AWESOME PIC.
the bird looks like it’s struggling to fly,
off balance, wobbly
feet extended, like she’s in an internal dilemma
fly higher or land to safety?
expand or contract?
She’s not exactly soaring effortlessly.
The clouds however look like a maze
with holes of clear, blue opportunity.
This is truly a stunning image. If I didn’t know from prior photos how great your talent is, I would assume this was photoshopped!
Amazing as always and lovely stuff that Eileen wrote too. Oh so hopeful, I love that…”with holes of clear blue opportunity”
that picture is beyond amazing.
It’s amazing how you keep topping yourself. That photo is amazing and the quote leaves me breathless.
Beautiful. I love Rumi and your pix are amazing.
That quote is just what I needed to hear today!
Phenomenal photo. It’s really intriguing and awe-some.
A lot of my recent pieces have had birds in them – inspired by my grandma. This is lovely. Thank you. 🙂
