Laundromat

File feature

I think it was October when I submit my series of laundromat photos to File Magazine, and they were immediately accepted for publication. The series just went up on the File site today, and I am very happy to have this group of shots seen here by a wider audience.

One blink of an eye away

Red chairs

We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves – the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds – never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.

~ Pema Chodron

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

I’m off on a much needed christmas getaway in the BC interior over the holidays, and definitely can use the change of scene. I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing Christmas. Remember to be good to those you love, and especially to yourself.

As the crow strolls

A murder of crows

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Lost in prayer

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face , kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
~ Mother Theresa

“All is a miracle. The stupendous order of nature, the revolution of a hundred millions of worlds around a million of stars, the activity of light, the life of all animals, all are grand and perpetual miracles.”
-Francois Voltaire
