Do you want to work upon the world and improve it?It won't work.
The world is sacred.It can't be improved.If you try to fix it, you'll ruin it.If you try to grasp it, you'll lose it.

The slideshow below illustrates the evolution of my finished "aura" picture (left) from initial incidental photograph to completed composition. After the initial idea was developed and refined, the final picture out of the camera (below right) was manipulated and enhanced using Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Edition 3.0 (old, but good...).

The New Year gets me thinking about divine one's purpose and setting realistic goals to fulfill that purpose.
Ultimately, I guess I have been searching for a role model to emulate, and I would like to share the following clip courtesy of DraftFBC Stokholm titled, "I have something great to reveal!"...

The remembrance of our mystical identity will restore our confidence, reminding us that we're part of that abundance...Fear comes, but fear passes. Only the truth of who you are remains, to shine on everything. And that is your job, now and always: to shine and thus illumine the world."

Digging my brain out from the dust bin of 2009.
Planning to vitalize some intentions.
Have a few things planned, but mostly I do "New Year's Resolution" in the spring--when it's warmer and I have a more realistic expectation of actually accomplishing them...and then there's the whole Spring / Tim Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00301289428060280204noreply@blogger.com1
