When Words Conjure Up Images

BEGINNING

A new beginning emanates such creative energy that I'm swept away 

in a whirl of vitality

towards new horizons shining in the dusk of my day.

CONFESSION

Not all confessions reveal wrongdoing. 

For example, a confession of love is often considered

positive, both by the confessor and the recipient of the confession, 

and is a common theme in literature.

Wikipaedia

To confess is to recognize, acknowledge and embrace a part

of who I am to myself and to others.

FORGIVENESS

To forgive myself and to forgive others gives me freedom.

This street art I discovered says it all!

CRISIS

For me, the word crisis is when a situation is coming to a head 

with tensions mounting.

This situation pushes us to make a decision.

It's a turning point where an explosion of energy allows us to decompress

and liberate ourselves.

A crisis is an opportunity of starting anew.

In this image,

the thistle head has exploded

liberating new possibilities of growth elsewhere.

MATURITY

is the plenitude I feel

through my ongoing life experiences.

They contain the past, the present and the continuation.

Maturity is the embracing of events or situations as they are.

It's about connecting with the essential,

gathering treasures and letting some things go

it's also in the hesitations I may have and finding flow.

Note:

These words were taken from a book called

"Consolations, The Solace, Nourishment 

and Underlying Meaning of Everday Words"

by David Whyte.

I am part of a group with

Kim Manley Ort in the study of these words

and our personal interpretation of them.

The photographs we choose to go with our words

express visually what the word of the week means to each one of us.
