floating on life...

today

in my notes I found this

~~

"it's not what's happening around you that determines much

but what's happening inside you"

~~

I wonder who wrote it

~~~~~

last week I spent a tiny bit of one of my mornings at a little park that I love

~

there's not really much to the park

but

because it's on the lake

I love it

~

and

there's really not much of anything to photograph while I'm there

but

I always come home with pictures that surprise me a little

~

I thought the photos I took of the huge dead fish floating right in front of me

would be really neat

but

they were just plain awful

~

I thought the photos I took of the mossy green rocks that were almost glowing in the sunlight

would be really neat

but

they were almost too green

if that's even possible

~

and

then there was this photo

which made me sit up straight so that I could really look at it

so that I could really see it

and

I'm not sure what it did to me

inside

but it stirred up some feelings or emotions

and

something in me changed a little

~

I didn't edit it

and

someday I will

~

but for now

it speaks for itself

even though I'm still now quite so sure what it's saying
