...Be Still. week thirteen...

Dorothea Lange

When everything is moving and shifting, 
the only way to counteract chaos is stillness. 
When things feel extraordinary, strive for ordinary. 
When the surface is wavy, 
dive deeper for quieter waters.
Kristin Armstrong

week thirteen.
i have whispered it here often.
my desire to just BE.
kim's lesson this week.
is about what our vision.
of BE'ing still.
looks like.
she offered to us.
what her stillness would look like.
the photos i've captured today.
is a big part of mine.
i can truly.
just sit.
on my porch.
in the warmth of the sun.
and watch these happy bees.
explore these tulips.
before i know it.
eighty-seven photos have been taken.
and a sense of stillness.
awakens in my soul.
boring?
mundane?
to some.
ordinary!
extraordinary!
to me.
in the chaos of life...
find what gives you the power.
to.
just BE.

Just look at those bees frozen in flight! And the blood red color of those tulips...
