Sometimes you just need to be away from everyone and be in a place of peace and solitude to just quietly think and to regroup on where you are and where you are heading in life.
I love how you capture a moment in time with your photos and then give them life with your lovely words. I’ve always felt that shadows are perceived unfairly, seen mostly from a negative point of view. I think that is why I loved this line that I read in the book “Mirror, Mirror” by Gregory Maguire : “The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.” Thank-you!
So true and such lovely poetic words, Jodi.
