TODAY'S
PHOTO -
by Sam, under the boardwalk in Ventnor, NJ, many
years ago.
Sam and I were walking at Wakodahatchee yesterday
when I said, "I wonder what photo I should
use tomorrow in recognition of July 4th, for those
who celebrate it in the States." He said that
he had the perfect fireworks photo.
Unfortuntately, we could not find that particular
photo and when seeing this boardwalk one, for which
Sam one a prize, I thought, "Perfect!"
It has the sparkling lights, even though it's sun,
and it has a very definite direction - moving forward
into the weekend, into the month of July, into the
rest of your summer activities.
It also brings fitting memories for those of us
from Philadelphia (originally and now) who used
to go to Atlantic City and other area beaches on
long holiday weekends and during the summer.
As I look at the photo I
can feel the cool sand, squishing between my toes,
and feel the coolness under the boards, as I remember
escaping from the heat of the sun. When our sons
were young I spent a lot of time under the smaller
boardwalk in Bradley Beach, NJ.
I wonder what you feel?
If you have not already visited Sam's photos online,
you can see them at B&W
PHOTOS. You can also learn more about his passion
for photography in the INTERVIEW
I did with him for our community newsletter.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES
-
On this long week-end take some time to observe
what lights you up. Notice how your body responds
when you're feeling peace and when you're feeling
joy. What other emotions show up strongly for you?
Also, what fond memories, such as mine of under
the boardwalk, can you bring up and savor any time
you wish or "need" them?
And, lastly, pay attention to what you do this weekend.
Look for the moments and the scenes that will now
become memories for you to bring up and savor in
the future.
Have a beautiful weekend, in whatever country you
reside.
