    Thank you Eric for sharing these contrasting shots of nature. The light in the first one I find soothing and calm and draws me in to explore more, whereas the patterns of the moving water in the second shot are bursting with such energy and vitality.

    I am going to let these natural settings work their way into my busy psyche to calm things down a little as I’m having a hard time sleeping tonight. As I sort out my life that is part breaking free to a brand new manner of expression. A dear friend passed me a Rumi Poem for this journey home I am taking, and it inspired me:
    …………………………..
    Forget Safety
    Live where you fear to live.
    Destroy your reputation
    Be notorious.
    …………………………………..

    And DarkMary I would like to say that this is in part by way of thanking you for thinking of me *last* Saturday morning :-) ) I loved the poem you choose. I was introduced to him earlier in the summer and yeah, wow, his writings works for me. I hope you get my reply to you now.

    I’m pooped now, trying to get back to bed, but I’d like to chat more about poetry if we can:
    uconlon at gmail dot com
    It would be great to gather more poetry plus I have one for you I’d like to share!

    Poetry and Nature, perfect ways to calm and soothe the soul.
    NiteNite dear friends.
