The Light

Good Morning.

Sun's out.  Heat returning.

I erased part of this photo because it was disturbing me.  I'm thinking about the convenience of that.  Especially in real life.  Crop, erase, ignore.  What are we doing?  Thinking about the word Self-ish.

can you see my face?

The young ones seem less afraid. Maybe there will be trust.

wrapped in magic...

The pieces were just here, connected them, like dots,  mumbling to myself...WTF...

Start small I said to my self.

    Jude, I am drawn to each part of this story, and am reminding myself how small changes can work out to influence our stories…do I see the small pieces in my life, and consider what they might mean? It can all matter.
    I am hearing the faint twitter of birds in the yard, and a plane going over……to where? I am moved by focusing on your art, and how looking and feeling closely about it enriches my moments.

    A lady I found on youtube recently mentioned you several times and called you the wonderful Jude Hill…she liked your invisible basting and other things. Glad to know you.

    What a simple joy to catch a view of the wildlife. Here I watch in the morning and early evening for my family of deer to come into the yard to nibble the grass and chose a tree and nibble at the fruits left purposely unpicked for them.
    I love seeing the different small rooms that are created by the shape of your home. If my house had those … I would be so happy to fill each one with each type of project materials…a dream!
    Good to hear of all the wonderful changes underway…now to make it through the disruptions it takes to achieve the changes.
    Happy you are feeling better each day.

    Humans are all about controlling their world, rather than living WITH it. All the poisons, grass mowing, all so nice and neat and, well, controlled. My Gardens are totally organic…but my neighbors’? No wonder the insects are dying…Next will be the birds. Ugh.

    Jude~ Oooh, love this one! I wonder if it is small enough to keep in a pocket? A magic beast to stay close and travel with you ❤️

    I used to be far more picky…only allowing myself to crop – for best visibility and adjust the color, to get it a close as possible to what I had seen. Then my camera got old and that didn’t always do it…and I started playing more…my pic = my world, controlling as I wished. Now…oops, got a stranger in the shot? Just disappear them! J. doesn’t want to be online? Disappear him! Yikes! I joke with him that it is like that scene in Back To The Future where Michael J Fox is playing the guitar w/ the family pic tucked in the headstock – family members fading away! haha
    And I totally agree…what are we doing? Crop away my hips, alter those extra chins…magic, but future generations may never know what follks truly looked like!! lol
