Behind the eye lids

Our dreams lay just beyond our eye lids.  Eyes wide shut, dreaming, imagining, hoping, planning. Closing your eyes opens a world that is unknown to the rest of the world. Closing your eyes means all is possible. All behind the eye lids we find our biggest dreams and our wildest imagination.

Textures and holding on.

She grasped onto my finger, barely covering my fingernail. I could not get over how fragile this little one was. Born weighing under 5 pounds, she amazed me with how strong her grip around my finger was. Each time I go and visit with this little one, I am reminded about the power of our strength.  The will to survive and be strong, is so much greater than we ever admit. What if we were to grasp onto our dreams in such a way as this little one, and not let go.

In the sun

The brilliance of the sun, never ceases to amaze me. I started taking photos out of relief of depression, I’d walk and take photos, of anything. This particular photo was after one of those days in which I was escaping with photography. But this photo was taken from the parking garage in our building, I pulled into our space and noticed the entire garage was illuminated in red. This feeling of warmth ran through me and I decided that the sun was trying to convey something to me… Perhaps in the starkness of life, such as a parking garage, there out beyond it all is beauty. I took this photo when I needed color the most, when I was convinced that color had left my life, and I would remain confined. It is freeing to know that a sunset can change the world, in a simple, unexpected moment.
