“Family Dancing” c. 2008, Heidi Straube
May you dance gracefully
on the tips of the waves
in the flow of the current
the sea of life
As we dive into the unknown of 2011
I wish you
love
nurturing
the bliss of joy
the strength for challenges
memory of you
deepest
“Savannah & Sierra, after ‘Annie'”
“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you,
say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
– D. H. Lawrence
What’s so wonderful about this photograph?
The passion. The freedom of these young girls to feel deeply, enjoy, share their feelings fully.
Are you living with passion, or has it disappeared from your life?
Did you shut it down by choice? Or has it slowly slipped away, as you’ve resigned yourself to the day to day routine, convinced that one cannot be “responsible” and passionate at the same time.
Passion is vibrant energy; the expression of life.
Pain/joy, disappointments/triumphs: Allow yourself to feel.
You are alive. Live deeply.
I recently went to Vermont for my niece’s high school graduation. It was nice to be shooting family, celebrations, people again, as I’ve been spending more time lately with seascapes.
I love this image, as it captures the feeling of joy, relief, and mother-daughter connection in an uplifting, flowing way.
“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness
the astonishing light of your own being.”

Life is full of changes…In fact, Life IS change. May you look back on the past year
and find the beauty that was constant. May you pause today, now And may you step into the New Year My deepest heartfelt wishes that your life’s changes – Heidi |
