Liquid reflections
It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.
~ Erica Jong
Today’s Capture Your 365 prompt is Liquid. You can find plenty of liquid here in the Bogs, especially since it’s been raining for a good part of the day.

Mirror, mirror. (An abstract created from reflections in a puddle on the front lawn.)
It is gray and windy here in the Bogs today. But I got lucky. When I stepped outside for my walk late this morning, I caught a patch of blue sky between the dark, gray clouds, and a few rays of sunshine streamed down for a minute or two.

Multiple personalities
I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

Fairy tale woods
life is a garden,
not a roadwe enter and exit
through the same gatewandering,
where we go matters less
than what we notice.~ Bokonon

Contemplation in blue
Perhaps the whisper was born before lips,
And the leaves in treelessness circled and flew,
And those, to whom we impart our experience as bliss,
Acquire their forms before we do.~ Osip Mandelstam

I’m curious about other people. That’s the essence of my acting. I’m interested in what it would be like to be you.

Light dancer
If we demand enlightenment, it hides. . . All that we can do is make ourselves enlightenment-prone. We learn to treasure the possibility of awakening in all moments and circumstances. We learn to simplify and cultivate the receptivity of heart that can be touched by profound understanding. We learn to listen deeply and discover stillness amid the movement in our world.
