LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE #36)-
hibiscus bud.

LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
As I passed this flower, it had me stop in my tracks, bringing a big smile to my face. It was giving off the feeling of joyousness and aliveness, excitement, at opening up and out into the world.

Based our conversation on close-ups in yesterday's Picture to Ponder, I did play with cropping the photo to show mainly the flower. It did not work. The flower, for me, was opening up to the world and it needed to have space around it to give off that message.

Sam enjoyed looking at the shapes in the sky, in the spaces between the leaves, and one reader wrote mentioning the delicacy of the hibiscus petals.

Today you might want to take a view finder. It can be shaped with your hands or you can cut an opening in a piece of paper. Look at an object through it. Then take the viewfinder away and look at the same thing in the midst of the space, or thoughts, surrounding it. Is there a difference in the way it's presenting itself or the way you see it?

TODAY'S IMAGE -
brings with it our wishes for you to have an active weekend, if you so desire, filled with many light and easy activities. May you all have a special weekend however you wish to be experiencing it.

Inspirationally,

Sheila
