Farewell 2009

Happy New Year!!

A New Year's Blessing

May your brilliance be reflected in the eyes of all you meet.
May the blessings of Life be felt in thought, word and deed.

May you drink deeply from Wisdom's cup.
May you see the gift in every challenge, the sacred in every step.

May laughter roll your belly as you delight in Creation's mystery.
May you breathe freely, love deeply, rejoice wildly and create
passionately.

May you be at peace, whether your bowl be empty or full.
May the Light of Love shine brightly upon your soul.

May you listen deeply within, faithfully heeding the guidance of Spirit.
May you wake to dream each day, remembering NOW is all there IS.

May you feel the energy of co-creation flowing through each hand.
May you remember to honour and give thanks for our Mother the land!

May you experience the bliss of a well-lived day ...
Forgiving ignorance; releasing regret, guilt or shame.

May you be sovereign, and to thine own Self be true.
May you remember each person makes a difference ...
... and that person is YOU!

Many blessings always and in all ways ...

My Aunt Nancy and her partner/husband Joey, who we so love, shipped us clams and scallops express from CT. so we can have seafood on Christmas eve. They have an amazing business, Briarpatch Enterprises, in Milford and Stonington CT. Wow! What a gift. THANK YOU!

Final Day of Fall

I managed to get through the last remnants of snow, and get 100 daffodil bulbs into the ground today, the last day of fall. See these beauties in about 100 days :)

"The best way to find your self is to lose yourself in the service of others."-Gandhi

One of the things I love most about photography is the sense of service I feel creating photographic memories for people from their wedding, family portrait, bat mitzvahs etc.

It is truly a privilege to bear witness to these intimate events and I give thanks for the opportunities to do the work I so love creating and sharing.

"As Once the Winged Energy of Delight"

"As Once the Winged Energy of Delight"

As once the winged energy of delight
carried you over childhood's dark abysses,
now beyond your own life build the great
arch of unimagined bridges.

Wonders happen if we can succeed
in passing through the harshest danger;
but only in a bright and purely granted
achievement can we realize the wonder.

To work with Things in the indescribable
relationship is not too hard for us;
the pattern grows more intricate and subtle,
and being swept along is not enough.

Take your practiced powers and stretch them out
until they span the chasm between two
contradictions...For the God
wants to know itself in you.

-Rainer Maria Rilke
