Revelation: Maria came out of the woods with a handful of wildflowers, and I almost cried—they are as or more beautiful than anything I can photograph or buy. I will be photographing them a lot this Spring and Summer. Mother Nature need not take a back seat to anyone or anything.
They have a special and natural beauty and are full of color.
Here are four of the photos I took of wildflowers. This is a tribute to them and a celebration of them. I will be out looking for them shortly and signing off, a good day. I stepped out of therapy for only the second time in more than 50 years.
My therapist and I will speak with her again in a month in case I’m not ready to make that break.
But I think I am. It’s time I stood up on my own feet and lived like a full-grown person.
I can never repay her for the work she did with me, and I may yet continue. I’m going to try to make it on my own. I understand my fear and anger in a different way now, and I have a lot of things to do in my life.
I’ll see you in the morning, probably with more Wildflowers. They really speak to me, and thanks to Maria for bringing them out of the fields.
Full of life and color.
I love the softness and fragility of these pictures.
They explode with life.
Jon, I love the wildflower pics! Wildflowers are so happy, if that’s possible. I’ve stepped away from my counselor off and on for the 15 years I’ve had her. The longest break was 4 years. I think of therapy now as I do my dentist, or my primary care doctor; I need them all to help me maintain my overall health. I used to feel weird that I didn’t seem to be “done” with therapy. I don’t feel weird any more.
You will do it, Jon, my husband and I have that belief and are sending you warm regards and positive energy. Congratulations! You are absolutely bursting with beautiful visual and written gems to improve lives and hence, the world. You will do it , and in style.
The wildflowers are so beautiful! I just love purple and yellow together.
