“What I see outside my bedroom window in winter is wonderful… I like my life.” –  At The Denver Museum, Georgia O’Keeffe.

“Around us, life bursts forth with miracles  – a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops; if you live in awareness (of yourself), it is easy to find miracles everywhere.“— Thich Nhat Hanh

I think O’Keeffe and Thich Nhat Hanh were saying the same thing.

I say this every morning and a dozen times a day.  People who live in an awareness are blessed. Maria is the first person I knew well who does this day and night, wherever she goes. Some people are aware of the miracles of life; many people are too busy or greedy. I’m learning to see the world anew. My photography and flower pictures are a significant part of that.

Every flower is a miracle to me, waiting to share its secrets. I’m stuck on Tulips at the moment; they are so beautiful and open.

Flowers have all kinds of secrets…

They can dance and sing.

A fire in a flower’s eyes;

We are getting to the heart of it.

The light inside of us…
