Day 3.. it's day 3 people and I just realized if I don't post this pic in the next 10 minutes I wouldn't have time.
For some reason this picture has been resonating in my consciousness for the last few days. Last night I just had to find it to make my background. So it seems natural to make it today's photo of the day. This is looking across the Grand Canal, across from the Rialto Vaporetto station on a summer's eve when all you need is light shawl for nothing but a bit of added comfort. Venice is truly one of the most stunning and unusual places I have ever visited. When I was there I wasn't sure if I'd return, but on reflection, I just know I have to..
TIME
I had a stimulating conversation recently, so recently I could almost still be having it, regarding time and how so many of us perceive our lack of it. It was one of those conversations when you leave realizing how silly it seems that we possibly couldn't have enough time. Ironically, not more than 12 hours after that talk, today, it would appear, I am one of those silly people.
There are 3 geographic locations to visit between now and 6pm in a 300km. radius, there are (new!) snowboarding boots to pick up, icy roads to navigate, a 10 page paper to conceptualize and write, lights to be held during a photo shoot (my important job), gear to pack for a weekend away, tunes to be enjoyed, dinner to be had with my favourite family, a kitty to be loved, roses to be smelled and coffee to be delighted in.. oh and throw in a 20 minute meditation session. So although there is no abundance of extra hours today to be spent taking new pictures for my 30 day photo challenge there are 12 hours and 38 minutes of March 25th that will be mindfully filled and thoroughly enjoyed to the max. Ah, the good life, life at my pace..
I LOVED Venice and know I will return someday, but this time with my lovah. I only spent one day there 9 years ago, but I can't wait to get lost in the streets again.
ReplyDeleteI love the lights on the water! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAhhh a comfortable shawl to accompany you for the evening...Do you think I'll feel that way with my aircast in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteShe sits delighting in a deep dish pizza as melodies of the blues echo from a nearby club, her lovah (thanks for the work Heath) nuzzles into her neck their arms drapped over each other. With a chill in the air she burries her swollen ankle a litte further into her comforting aircast. Her crutches crash to the ground, her pizza is all over her shirt...the moment is lost in the night air, just another blues song.
