The Heart

Thank you so much for your comments, Bijan! It made my day.

Greetings to you, beautiful young lady. On this Sunday afternoon, I'm sitting at my computer checking out the entire body of your work, everyone of them, no exception. I love and admire what I see. What really stands out about you is that you see beauty in everything around you : Snow tracks (Curvy,) rust on metal (Underneath the Bridge,) box turtle, reflections on water, "Gone To Seed" and everything else. You see beauty all around you because you carry so much beauty in your heart. I'm convinced that the world is precisely a reflection of who we are or what we are. The world is a reflection of what is going on in your soul. That's why for thousands of years Rishis (enlightened teachers) of the Ayurvedic tradition of India have been reminding us of a universal truth that applies to all of us : "I AM NOT IN THE WORLD. THE WORLD IS IN ME. I AM NOT IN THE BODY. THE BODY IS IN ME." "Me" is NOT this flesh & blood mortal shell that will decompose and return to dust some day. "Me" is a unique manifestation of expression of an ineffable, inscrutable reality we call God.

Ella, thank you for the comment. I was 8 months pregnant when I took this photo. I felt that the leaves represented me and my unborn child.

Jane, I love the journey that your photography takes the viewer...this is a lovely capture, presentation....that produces a visual message from natural elements

WOW, Gorgeous capture, Jane!!! Fantastic light on this beautiful heart in nature! L/F
