“Walking, ideally, is a state in which the mind, the body, and the world are finally in conversation together, three notes suddenly making a chord. Walking allows us to be in our bodies and in the world without being made busy by them. It leaves us free to think without being wholly lost in our thoughts.”
–Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust A History of Walking

Just playing around and I found perfection, which was perfectly imperfect, as flash crashed and the entire image was lost. Leaving me. Leaving having NO idea–ok maybe a few layers back, of what I had done to it and with it. I was a wee bit really farkin mad about it too. The muses must have figured that I had to work with the program some more eh? Birds in flight run the whole gamut of potentials. 😉

“They may deny it vociferously, but artists burn with a need to convey by implication their personal conception of life and potential beauty, transcending all the laws, dogmas, practical aspirations, and the instincts of self-preservation. They, along with the scientists, poets, and philosophers, illuminate the world rather than exploit it….”

Morning Trip (105)
“…Going down stone by stone,
the song of the water changes,
changing the way I walk
which changes my thought
as I go. Stone to stone
the stream flows. Stone to stone
the walker goes. The words
stand stone still until
the flow moves them, changing
the sound – a new word –
a new place to step or stand….”
–Wendell Berry, Excerpt from The Book of Camp Branch, out of Leavings
