Life is about finding our way.
I feel a heart connection to this first photo because it represents the openings in my life,
the obstacles I may encounter
and the unknown path on which I am moving forward.
It is also about accepting the experiences I am living at this moment, without wanting them to be different,
knowing that they are the learning blocks of life and are there for a reason.
Since there needs to be only one chosen photo for this Heart-Connection monthly get-together,
I offer this first image which represents all that is written here and the other images
are simply the same subject taken from
a different angle.
Sometimes there are obstacles we have to go around
We never know what is round the next corner
and we linger awhile and breathe in every detail of this moment,
remembering...
This is where I am
Now.
This is just lovely. Fabulous images - lovely textures and love the greens - and the words go with them so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of the gate and green ferns, Sandra! I like your little parable too. You actually got into the secret garden, lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos and the cool green ferns.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them.

ReplyDeleteLove this series of images and what it represents not only for you but I'm sure for many of us as well. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Sandra. I love The Secret Garden movie, and this gate could be "the gate" into the Secret Garden. Such wonderful words and photos for the Photo-Heart Connection!

ReplyDeleteYes! This is the path, the unknown around the corner, the acceptance that this is what is for the present moment, to breathe in the beauty of the now.
ReplyDeleteYour image is so inviting, what a lovely path to walk down. I love your words here Sandra. Have a happy week x
ReplyDeleteI think we all can totally relate to what you've written. What a pretty place to receive that "reminder" that you encountered.

ReplyDeleteI like your photo's a lot and have to take a closer look where you are living, its in one way so familiar and in an other so different. I love your words.
ReplyDeleteOh I relate to your connection with this image....about life and finding our way. So many times I'm afraid to go through the open door, but I feel myself getting braver. Thanks for sharing your photo-heart connection with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the story behind the photo... What a neat and therapeutic idea! Your picturing for "going around" is just perfect. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYour images and words are so lovely! Sometimes it's hard to step through the gate not knowing where it will lead, but life would be so boring if new things weren't opening for us!
