“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

    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!
