The deliciousness of this or that moment

“Expression to my way of thinking does not consist of the passion mirrored upon a human face or betrayed by violent gesture. The whole arrangement of my picture is expressive. The place occupied by the figures or objects, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything plays a part.” — Matisse

Then, from the kitchen in my brain, came, “like poets – photographers cook visual lyrics; a dash of content; proper ratio and proportion of all the ingredients; maintain a sense of spontaneity;  always some emotional spice; and like every good cook – just knowing – the deliciousness of this or that instant.”

Push hard to get better

“Push hard to get better, become smarter, grow your devotion to the truth, fuel your commitment to beauty, refine your emotional intelligence, hone your dreams, negotiate with your shadow, cure your ignorance, shed your pettiness, heighten your drive to look for the best in people, and soften your heart—even as you always accept yourself for exactly who you are with all of your so-called imperfections.” so says my horoscope dude.

Snow walk = intimate relationship with the wild divine

“The contemplation of things as they are, without substitution or imposture, without error and confusion, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention” – Sir Francis Bacon

The horoscope dude said, “Wean yourself from ego-driven desires and pour your libido into a longing for beauty, truth, goodness, justice, integrity, creativity, love, and an intimate relationship with the Wild Divine.”
Sounds, looks, smells, feels like a wonderful path.
