“And what of the clouds?” she says
“They dance the beauty of your soul,” he replies
Deep.
Sacred.
Such is the true nature of passion.
The Heart unfolds its layers
offers its mysteries
opens and softens to Love
Invites the Known
Risks the Unknown
Will the Light expand or the Heart be veiled again?
the Beauty is constant
Passion still alive
Soul’s gift –
Always living from the Exquisite
“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.
Hey, thanks to all who participated in the “Introduction to the Inner Path of Photography” workshop yesterday…We really covered a lot, didn’t we? Inside and out, spiritually and tangibly.
Good insights, good photographs too…and some nice perspectives to apply to our lives, whether shooting photographs or not.
I remembered how much I love to teach what I believe in and that inspires me…and also how much I learn from participants at the same time.
Loved affirming that we all share similar challenges as photographers: wanting perfectionism, finding our own muse, avoiding the “shoulds” of others; recognizing the “shoulds” of our own inner slave driver and allowing ourselves to play!
And beginning the discussion of how to work with those challenges, and get back to the joy we felt when we first discovered our new love affair.
“M”: thanks for the “I want to go to bed with my camera again!” sentiment…It captures so beautifully what we’re all yearning for and love to feel when the that photographic/inner spirit passion connects.
Yesterday was inspiring, supportive, and full of camaraderie. That’s what I love about photographers…most are grooving on the joy of life, and enjoy sharing their discoveries and feeling.
Now I’ll get ready for the September intensive….So many ideas, so little time!
