Project 52: Quiet Reminders...

6.17.2013

To see a world in a grain of sand 
And a heaven in a wild flower, 
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, 
And eternity in an hour...
[William Blake, Auguries of Innocence]

***

On sunny days it's easier to see,... but even within the limits and demands of brittle noisy days, amid the clamor and clutter, the magic is there. All around us, always around us, in all ways around us. A poetry of harmonious symmetry and pure perfection. It gives everything and demands nothing in return... except every now and again, like a subtle rainfall, it reminds us to stop and take notice...

  1. We all need reminders like this to give us perspective on those "noisy" days (like Mondays!:) Thank you. Oh, and those photos are gorgeous! They are each so different but complement each other perfectly too.

    1. Yes, wow! How did you know!... when they fell out in bunches, I didn't have the heart to throw them out. Plus they were still so pristine and velvety soft. Alas the only thing I could think to do was photograph them.

    2. They are the only flowers that I know of that can look as soft and beautiful off the stem as on it!

  11. So delicate! I love how your little boy is gently holding the dandelion as if he want to blow one tiny seed at a time.
