Prompt: Take a moment, close your eyes, take a deep breath and ask yourself the
question: how do you feel . . . in your body? in your
mind? in your day job? in your creative life? in your heart?
I feel
lost and found
happy and sad
free yet stuck
creative but lacking
confident but insecure
good yet bad
optimistic and doubtful
motivated and indifferent
loved yet unloveable
seen but unheard
here but not present
but the point is . . . I feel!
And that is how we know we are truly alive. :) love this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy, a big bundle of contradictions but truly alive.
Deleteyes, exactly, that IS the point... i adore this photo!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we can feel so many emotions all at once and the same time. You've described and captured it perfectly here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcie, I feel like a walking contradiction most days.
DeleteLike most of us, a swirl of contradictions!
ReplyDeleteSwirl describes it perfectly, glad I'm not alone!
DeleteIn this photograph, I see that old biblical serpent; that smooth talker that got us out of the always perfect garden, and into this duality of feelings. I wouldn't want it any other way.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, you just described me today!!! I am so yo-yo most days lately.....
ReplyDeleteWe go through so many emotions and different feelings in one day.. up and down in and out... then it is a new day.
ReplyDeleteI have just had a nice long visit..and I must say your photography is very engaging and I love your current header!
ReplyDeleteIt captures so well the rollercoaster of emotions that is life's journey. The composition and depth of field choices here are lovely!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot and wonderful find... the twining vine is amazing! And what a beautifully written poem :^)
ReplyDeleteYes! You capture the contradictions so well. That's my day, right there. And I love the image. It is another contradition -- simple, but complex.
ReplyDeleteI love how so many can relate. I think we often feel alone in our mixed emotions so it's great to know others often experience the same.
