Unable to discern the form of You,
I see Your presence all around.
Filling my eyes with the love of You,
my heart is humbled,
for You are everywhere. ~ (Trans: Priya Hemenway: The Book of Everything Journey of the Heart’s Desire Hakim Sanai’s Walled Garden of Truth)

Week 5: Composition: Symmetry Landscape (Landscape is one of the most practiced type of photography. Use Symmetry in a Landscape to create a new viewpoint for this week’s image.)
Scattered petals gather on the road,
more colorful than the blossoms on the
branches. ~Hatsui Shizue (K Rexroth & I Atsumi, The Burning Heart)

All are lonely,
Yet are you much more than any –
