Weekly Photo Challenge: Dance

Dance

Kelp and the sea – in flawless rhythm.

The Challenge:

There’s rhythm and motion all around us — this week, let’s capture some of it in a photo…

When I let my brain loose, allowing it to absorb what’s around me without trying to process anything in particular, what it often detects is choreography — unmistakable dance moves, often in unexpected places.

Weekly Photo Challenge: One Love

The Challenge:  I realized that the universe is constantly whispering words of love: expressions of pure joy, respect, loyalty, and sacrifice for someone other than ourselves, and instructions on letting go and focusing on what is most important in this world.

That which is beautiful calls to me.  It inspires me, and it can move me to tears – or to action.  It reminds me of the greater reality beyond myself.  Beauty illuminates the path to love.
