what's the deal?

the creation of this blog coincides with a rebirth in my life.

Frost wrote of reaching the crossroads and following “the path less traveled.” upon first reading that poem as a child, and being a country girl, all I could imagine was that traveler and the country road he trekked. as the years have passed, I have been able to transform that original perception as my own life has transformed.

I knew, in the dark recesses, that this journey was inevitable. I know that a choice had to be made, that I was not able to take the easy route, the charted course, the safe passage. if what was before was perfect and where I was supposed to be, I would still be there, nothing would have changed. alas, it wasn’t, regardless of my efforts to reach the perfection we all strive for.

being comfortable with myself, for the most part, I embark on this renaissance with wonder and awe, mixed with trepidation and fear. a great friend of mine has advised me to release those old feelings of lacking, frustration, anger, guilt and pain, to recognize their unhealthiness in order to grow. my spiritual guides are aiding me in doing so as I set out on this adventure, this overhaul of who and what I am.

the technical issues are tedious, necessary bits that have to be muddled through. the emotional and spiritual matters require a concerted effort, and I know I am not alone in this endeavor.

all I have to do is remember myself, and the progression will be a smooth one.

you will see my in my photos and my blogs my revolution. photography is a love of mine. I do not call myself a photographer; I hate labels and refuse to give in to them. but it’s a wonderful outlet for my unique view of life in general.

I take pictures, some of which immediately hit the dark room floor, (or are deleted to the recycle bin), others that truly inspire me and prove to me that my love is not futile. you will not find edited or posed pictures on my camera or desktop unless I have just come from a gathering of friends or family. life is not scripted or posed, that is not how the world sees us…get my way of thinking?

I do not claim to be an author either, although I am quite accomplished at rambling nonsensically…smack me if you feel the need.

if you, too, take pictures, please reveal them to me. I’m not one of those snobby art people who do not appreciate other’s peoples passions.

so, I share my love with you.

I wish you inspiration, appreciation, happiness and peace. I also wish to quiet my supporters who keep telling me to get my work out there!

I leave you with this;

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

- peace
