Dear ,
Today's issue of Picture to Ponder is striving for simplicity, thus one photo. I am in the process of redesigning my business and evaluating where I've been spending my time.
I started adding two additional photographs in this issue. Then I looked again at this photo. In its quiet, there is a lot of depth and movement.
So I invite you to simply "be" with it for a moment or two or more.
If you enjoy writing, I invite you to use it for a writing prompt and share your writing on the blog.
Today's Photo -
The upper portion of a very large Philodendron
leaf
in the American Orchid Society Greenhouse
Self-Reflecting Queries -
I generally spend three to four hours per issue of Picture to Ponder, in picture selection, idea formulation and writing. So needless to say each of the components are a part of my "queries" process.
I know there are subscribers who pay attention to the photographs only. Others value both the Self-Reflecting Queries and the photographs.
If the SRQ's are especially important to you, I would appreciate your emailing me and letting me know. Simply click on QUERIES and a "self-addressed" email will open up in your inbox. I have already indicated in the body of it that the "Queries" are important to you. All you need to do is hit "SEND".
Of course, you are welcome to delete the statement there and/or replace it or add to it.
And, I invite you to look at the photo and your experience of it and check with yourself, "Is there a connection between the photo and my response to Sheila's question?"
(Note: The last was not a planned question. It simply "came" to me as I was closing.
As always, have fun, and please share on the blog what comes up for you and any writing you might have done to the leaf.
