I was struck with a realization that we are all "becoming" throughout our lifetimes.

Our human minds like tidy stories with a beginning, middle, and end - a logical sequence of birth, growth, decline, and death. But this masks the reality that we are simply moving through this lifetime. The growth we experience in our final years is just as important as the first.

We are always becoming who we truly are, even if the outward signs of growth aren't apparent to others.

Vision of a white Magnolia this Spring. I processed it as a B&W and gave it a pinhole filter in SilverEfex. I have been thinking about concepts and this seemed to suit it nicely. See it here:

#InSearchOfOzu, #TheCriterionChannel 2018, #DirectedBy #DanielRaimi, is an interesting, gentle look at #objects the #director #YasujiroOzu used in, and to create, his #films, done in a way that imbues the #inanimate with an #essence, a sense of #spirit, that let them #act as representations of the #artist and shows, literally, how they helped #Ozu express his ideas on #film.

#Documentaries like this #teach me how little I really know or understand about making #movies.

Impressions of a Yellow Lily - from my garden. The idea was to capture the essence of something. I love the bright yellow color. Can't wait to see them again.

For thousands of years, #Tree #Resins known as #Frankincense (white/milky) & #Myrrh (reddish) were used to make #Sweet #Perfume, Incense, & #Medicine.

The #Trees are #Native to #Arabia & NE #Africa.

To #Collect the resins, the #Bark is cut, which allows the #Essence to seep out & dry into #Crystals.

#Nomads sold the #Prized #Aromatics, which were as #Precious as #Gold, #Gems, or #Spices.

Frankincense is #French for #Pure #Incense.
Myrrh is #Semetic for #Bitter.

Remembering Toni Cade Bambara who passed away Dec. 9th 1995- Check out this article in #Essence:

“We’d fare better if we cherish and nurture the love and connection we experience that isn’t from our “parents” or “siblings; the love we experience that isn’t romantic. These types of love and connection are not inferior. They eternally stand against the sources of our suffering.”

J’entends aux infos qu’il y’a la queue devant les stations essence car la ristourne État et Total s’arrête demain !!! #essence #transitionécologique

Appreciate the resource for what it is; find the feeling place of what the resource brings the community; open the door to allowing more of that feeling-place to run through the community; be open to that resource appearing in a different form once everyone is open to the flow of its essence. Probably not the scientific expression of an answer you were looking for… this is at the basis of how I write visionary ecofiction.

Sharing from a reply I sent earlier today, just because I can. <3
