battling against darkness
is of little use to the seeker.
taking arms against the negative
brings the negative into your heart.
what you must do instead is let in the light.
~1,001 ways to live in the moment
today we find ourselves
wrapped in a soft blanket of mist.
with the sun patiently waiting.
to slip through the folds.
frost heavy.
leaves that can no longer hang on.
falling gently to the ground.
light + objects = shadows
join us down under for SSS.
have you caught your wish leaf yet?
just BE.

We so often see only darkness, not realizing that even the tiniest light that exists is such an affirmative thing. Dark and gloom is a big picture we seem to gravitate to, so we must savor the little bit of bright that is out there too...
ReplyDeleteSuperb shadow shot for the day and your words are always a wonderful to start any day, Robin! Thank you for the light on a dark, rainy day! Hope you have a great weekend!

we have yet to get our first frost, and it was a possibility this morning but it looks like we escaped it again. there are a few green tomatoes still clinging to the vines out there. thanks for the lovely peek into your frosty early morning. I love the hint of the sun's back-lighting. happy weekend to you Robin.
ReplyDeletebrrrr...here we go again! Loving your picture - a perfect capture today - love the sun hitting it - wonderful!

Open the curtains at dawn and the morning rushes in. I love your leaf picture Robin
ReplyDeleteYou captured this leaf just at the right moment. The hoarfrost is crystal clear wuth the shadow superimposed on it. Great shot! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteExquisite lighting, cameo etching of shadow and kiss of frost on this leaf! The essence of magic! A wish leaf of romance and dreams!
ReplyDeleteThat leaf is mysteriously radiant...
ReplyDeleteSHADOW, SHADOW
Shadow, shadow drawing near,
You are all alone, I fear;
Let me be your new-found friend—
I’ll stick with you to the end!
