choosing the sun {self-portrait challenge}
on the banks of puget sound, june 19, 2007
on the days when misunderstandings threaten to roll in the clouds. on the days when the missing rocks my heart and her voice seems lost to me. on the days when the last thread of possibility begins to tear. on days when the aloneness feels like a friend. on the days when dreaming feels immature and silly. on days when the patterns long left behind suddenly appear as an option. on days when i feel forgotten and realize i have actually forgotten myself.
on these days, like a violet on a kitchen windowsill, i choose the sun.
i choose.
i choose.

Oh, thank you for your lovely words! You are so right about our choices, for in them we find our power! Peace, joy, and sunshine to you....Lisa
You are so very beautiful and this post, meaningful. Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment.
On a side note, I was in Puget Sound a year ago December, and I fell in love with the place. I've often thought since that it would be a place I would love to call home.
Namaste!
What a beautiful photo of you, Liz. You really do look in your element there with the sun shining on your face.
Good choice :)

Your blog has become a much needed breath of fresh air in my day! Thank you!
