Today is the first day of Lent.
Lent can be a time of spiritual transformation
as we release negative habits and thoughts.

I
am aware that this time can be used to turn from the simple act
of giving up things to a more positive commitment
to take up the practice of high-level thinking.
I am taking up the daily practice of joy, gratitude,
speaking positive words and committing myself
to daily sharing my photography with love.

constant meditation
slowing down
giving one-pointed attention
putting the welfare of others first
deeper spiritual companionship
reading from the scriptures
and mystics of all religions
greater sharing of my gifts
And you?
If
you want distinctive nature,
documentary or portrait
photography--
photography with soul that
inspires you to live a more
artful and beautiful life,
please contact me.
Great. Thank You for reminding what is really important. Hope more people would do the same (including myself...)
ReplyDeleteLovely post Bruce ! I'm so with you on your resolution to to focus on love, compassion and the things that really make us and those around us happy !
ReplyDeletei think this is all valuable but more so as a way of life, not as a temporary commitment of calendar. the word practice is all muscle, isn't it? it is every day.
ReplyDeletei love how the light in your photograph draws the person on the journey onward.
