The child claps his hands

playing alone, happily

under a festive tree

weekly photo challenge: layers

I raise the mirror of my life

Up to my face: sixty years.

With a s wing I smash the reflection–

The world as usual

All in its place.

weekly photo challenge: horizon

Every life is a point of view directed upon the universe. Strictly speaking, what one life sees no other can. Every individual, . . . is an organ, for which there can be no substitute, constructed for the apprehension of truth . . . Without the development, the perpetual change and the inexhaustible series of adventures which constitute life, the universe, or absolutely valid truth, would remain unknown . . . Reality happens to be like a landscape, possessed of an infinite number of perspectives, all equally veracious and authentic. The sole false perspective is that which claims to be the only one there is. ~José Ortega y Gasset

weekly photo challenge: the hue of you

if some great idea takes hold of us from outside, we must understand that it takes hold of us only because something in us responds to it, and goes out to meet it. ~C. G. Jung
