Flash Mob in Copenhagan Metro – Be Surprised!

May an equivalent of this happen to you today as you go to work or whenever you are out and about – or perhaps you could make it happen for others?!

Wonderful experience, wonderful little video.

I love how the person who found this film at a flea market became fascinated by the unknown photographer and  what the images represent: a life.

By DAVID GONZALEZ

Dock to the Unknown

“These unexpected gifts of magic still continue
their source as mystifying as ever
whether the “face” before me
Is human, cloud, ice, fire…”

An approaching storm

Beauty….or Fear?
a choice

Walking forward, not able to see what is at the end of this dock
this day
this life

We can choose to see the light…or darkness.

I choose the magic.
