dew like jewels

"If we knew that tonight we were going to go blind,
we would take a longing, last real look at every blade of grass,
every cloud formation, every speck of dust, every rainbow, raindrop-everything.
-Pema Chodron
....
One of the more beautiful things I have heard in a long time.

love.
Posted by: Boho girly at November 21, 2006 08:33 AMBeautiful picture and quote. My mom has been slowly losing her vision. Yet at the same time her painting has become more poignant. We were just talking about how much more she appears to be seeing on some other level.

Posted by: celisa at November 20, 2006 10:56 AMso appropiate that i wake up and read this post this morning. one of my sweet sweet cats passed away last night, and since then i have been wishing i could have hugged him a little more, payed attention a few more minutes, hear his loud drawn out meow a few more times. it's sad that it sometimes takes loss for us to understand how lucky we were to have certain things/people in our lives. now i ache for his presence in my life. thank you for posting this and reminding me to truly cherish what i have while i have it...for it can so quickly be taken away.

Congrats on your new camera, I've got the Rebel XT and I adore it. You deserve a tool that allows you to express your decisive optical brilliance.
Did I just say, "Decisive Optical Brilliance"?
I did.
And I meant it!
Sigh.
God bless Pema Chodron.
Don't ya just love her?
:)

Posted by: erika at November 18, 2006 06:32 PMThat /is/ very beautiful. And very, very sad.
Hey, I got published for the first time yesterday.
The worst thing about being blind would be not being able to read anymore, don't you think? Actually, that's not true. One might think the worst thing is not being able to see the people you love.
But, on the other hand, blind people get to know other people based on their personalities, not how they look. Silver lining and all that.
Posted by: Savannah at November 18, 2006 03:42 PMwhat a photo! they look like strings of pearls.
Posted by: deezee at November 18, 2006 01:44 PMBeautiful! Isn't nature inspiring?
