Live in simple faith . . .
Just as this trusting cherry
Flowers, fades, and falls — Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828)
Winter seems thoroughly upon us today – rain and wind aplenty. I’m wrestling with migraines and the whole world seems to be roiling around in some kind of turbulence. This cherry leaf was almost throbbing with colour in the dull grey light and the contrasting greenery.
Ultimately, living in simple faith seems to make the most sense. Running around roaring like lions is fun for a while, but in the end there isn’t much development, much learning or growth. In the end the result is the same.
Manifesto
05. Every day is now. The present moment.
09. Every day learn something new.
13. Every day be better than you were the day before.

Linny – for some reason the opposite of the above mentioned turbulence brings to mind the quiet, simple, beauty of being suspended in tranquility while we were shooting underwater pictures in that river in Hawaii.
You know, I hadn’t noticed the similarities between this and those shots, but you’re right. Very different, but similar in feeling. Feels like holding your breath, just going with the flow. Isn’t it time we caught the wave?
