February Morning – Mars, PA 2018
Look Inside.
The tiniest drop of water
hanging on the edge of the limb
that might not last
longer than a few moments
holds a glimpse of life.
It tells a story.
Look inside.
Ignore the blurred surroundings.
Squint hard.
Look closely.
Search deep
into this beautiful thing.
Search deep…
inside of You.
Like the tiny drop of water
that reflects the trees trunk and limbs.
Look inside your heart
to see what branches inside of you.
What is growing and stretching
and feeding your soul.
What is reaching
to grasp your happiness.
Look inside
at the beauty of you.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
So very beautiful Jodi.

What a wonderful capture in the photo! And black and white is just right. There’s so much to see if we just stop and really look. (K)

and the funny thing is – I didn’t convert or alter it in any way to black and white. That is the actual shot. Blew me away what focusing on that droplet created.

Water droplets with their mirror image of the world around them have also fascinated me. If you look hard enough, you will find yourself in the water droplet. It is pure magic just like your wonderful poem, Jodi.

What a beautiful moment caught thru your eye and camera skills. Magic, then your thoughts to remind us of the signifiance of that beauty in that moment. The story behind that drop, that shape shifter that could have originated from hail, or snowflakes, to the momentarily remains of a bright glistening drop, that captured your heart, & inspired this insightful thought provoking poem. Good morning Jodi, so nice to have you in my life.

I couldn’t believe all that could be seen in that little droplet, and to me it so stands out in the picture. Before you read it, was your eye drawn there? be honest – I don’t know if it was just me 🙂
Dena – I am so so glad to have you in my life as well! Thank you!
