Introspective Lenses 4 Life

My Perspective.

Ripples in time. Reflections on life.
Rhythmically, currents flow without strife.
Lasting impressions, peaceful, sublime.
Life’s happenings trail through heart and mind.

Incredible, mountainous feelings.
Spreading ‘midst darkness and light, healing.

Soothing calm. Gentle rhythms serene.
Rippling notes, a symphony pristine.

I was mesmerized by the ripples created by the Celebrity Apex (photos 1, 3, 4 -Norway fjords and Sea) and Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas (photo #2 -Endicott Arm, Alaska).

Ripples vary in size, spacing, length, depth, dimension, and duration (the effect time plays on memories and reality in the moment of causation). Enhanced by reflections and the distortions caused by rippled waters brought many thoughts to mind, least of which is the rippled trail my life’s happenings and choices effect in following me. Symbolism is introspective in nature.

Life’s happenings challenge, bring experiences of heartache, joys, and opportunities.
I am an optimistic, happy soul, blessed with a variety of sacred remembrances.

Mountains and water are sanctuaries for me.
A place where sacred communication, spirit to spirit, blesses my introspective nature with divinely appointed nurturing.
I am stilled in heart and mind as I observably listen, hearing and hearkening, to rhythmic sounds of the intangibles.
My photographs attempt to capture, for me, a moment, a wordless experience.
Each time I revisit these places, my heart and mind rest in complete harmony.

Ripples. Reflections. Introspection.
Lasting impressions, peaceful, sublime.
