You're gone, gone, gone awayI watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep....*Of Monsters And Men
Transitions...
“I take pleasure in my transformations. I look quiet and consistent, but few know how many women there are in me.”― Anaïs Nin
The Creativity Project {Body Parts, Age}
The theme this month for The Creativity Project is {Body Parts & Age}.
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.
~Kevyn Aucoin
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'
Ashton Kutcher
A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.
Nikki Giovanni
Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization.
Bo Bennett

Everyday Beauty
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

While the majority of my images are black and white, this scene was a moment for me.
I saw it in black and white when I took it.
“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”

Sometimes the days are long,

The theme at i{heart}faces this week is Autumn Splendor. It's no news that I have been thoroughly enjoying Autumn in our yard this year! Here is my entry : )
Wait, let me reword that.
Here is Linhsey's entry. She picked this one as her favorite. She said she picked it because it has sunlight and it looks beautiful. Good enough for me!
