Look closely.
Look deeply.
Is it pretty?
Is it beautiful?
Does that matter?
Do you care?
When you look closely,
and when you look deeply,
Do you feel something?
Does it stir your soul?
Feel it,
Embrace it.
Look closely.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Things do look different depending on your perspective…I love the indefinite abstractness of the photo. Lots of light. (K)

Thanks Kerfe. It was a delicate pink lily from one of the bereavement bouquets I received after the death of my brother recently.

Beautiful, Jodi. The symbolism of that flower is both beautiful and wrenchingly sad.

Look closely indeed. I’m saddened by the number of bloggers that I follow that have suffered a loss in the last little while. Like I said to Ann we need to be thankful for every day we have on this earth and yes, take the time to look deeply and closely at what surrounds us. Beautiful post. Hugs! Carol

Interesting Post Jodi because most people seem to default seeing to a rather superficial level.
I might see a street
You might see a garden
I might see a rose bush
You might see a rose
I might see a rose petal
You might see petal texture
I might see an anther
You might see pollen
I might see the ovary
You might see a whole new world down there!
