It is more important
To see the simplicity
To realize one’s true nature
To cast off selfishness
And temper desire.

Lost in Translation’s invitation for this Sunday is to “share some patterns and repetitions”.
It is not just a matter of opinion to which everyone has an equal entitlement to speak (and have us listen) about how things happen or are happening, when what happened or how it happened is puzzling or obscure.
~The Bodhisattva’s Brain: Buddhism Naturalized, Owen Flanagan

I find it interesting to explore how a wide open f-stop invites us to See Differently
…our ordinary vision is limited…our conventional consensus of reality is not the only version of reality…the mind…in its attempt to provide meaning (security), continually rearranges the world to fit individual needs. The failure to recognize the constructive nature of the mind can be a major obstacle to artistry and creativity.
~Tao of Photography, Gross & Shapiro

a mirrored walkway…submitted for Robyn’s Seeing Differently photo challenge for October.

Within the local Rocky Mountains, memories of my childhood slumber. A drive from eastern Colorado to the western slope on Interstate 70 will awaken memories of Sunday drives over the Rockies’s treacherous passes made even more perilous with my parents in front speaking with each other and every so often to one of us four children in the back…in sign language…which requires, far way too many moments, eyes diverted from the narrow and curved roadways bordered by sudden falloffs that disappeared into deep valleys. Yet, again and again my heart was captured and my anxiety abated by the beauty of nature forever changing within the movement of days and seasons.
…photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something in an ordinary place … it has little to do wit the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
~Tao of Photography: Seeing Beyond Seeing, Philippe L. Gross and S. I. Shapiro
