Capturing moments ~ picturing emotions

A week of lessons...

This is what it has been

and like all school subjects

it had its easy, difficult,

enjoying, rewarding 

and more hard to deal with

 parts.

So, Monday to Friday, 

capturing moments,

picturing feelings,

through the natural flow of life

Here we are:

Monday ~  feeling fresh & energised from a relaxing weekend

 ~ ~ ~

grateful for warm sunny weather, 

so unusual for the country I'm currently living in,

I'm grouping together some of my favorite cloud shots

and get them prerared to be listed in the shop

Still not publicly listed at the moment...

will inform you when they are

Teusday ~ a need to look inside arises

  must have been the rainy weather

  

 ~ ~ ~

    which was welcome as a pleasant change

                                     ~ ~ ~

                          soon love was in the air, 

                          much like a floating balloon

It's Wednesday ~ my lovely flickr partner and I 

are in a romantic mood and 

we are putting together a diptych,

 making an ode to being a woman

                                           

    ~ ~ ~

In the same mood, I'm remembering the warmth felt 

when walking in the cobbled streets of Limburg 

with my mother just a few days ago

                           ~ ~ ~

Thursday ~ a bright, happy morning, 

as the first part of the blog post

 I had prepared for Ikea Family Live went on air

....such a wonderful feeling 

to be cooperating on a creative level

 - even just on line - 

with the company I adore 

                  ~ ~ ~

and later lightening strikes, 

as in life happy occasions and sad ones

sometimes go hand in hand,

with sudden negative feelings and emotions having to be dealt...

....looking for keys,

 I reminded myself that all answers lie inside us 

and put together a collage 

with work of incredible talented flickr contacts & friends.

Friday ~ having felt extremely vulnerable,

the notion of building fences around us

 to protect ourselves comes prevailing in my thoughts

and then I realise that so long as I love,

 I'm protected,

 but this doesn't mean that I'll never hurt, 

as I'm only as imperfectly human as us all

and decide to let go of all pain 

that might have been caused

                                    ~ ~ ~

Eventually, I wrap my arms around myself 

and give me a tight, caring, loving hug, 

as a lovely friend suggested...

I'm happy

Why?

That's why....

                        ~ ~ ~

                                                                            

 May  you be having yourselves a mostly happy weekend, keeping in mind that happiness is a deep notion, that goes beyond simply celebrating and much deeper down inside to the depths of our existencies. Being alive and so blessed as most of us are, who have the luxury of reading or writing similar lines, IS happiness.
