"Honor the WOW moments in life!" and the Quiet moments too!
After looking through old pictures on my computer I realized the "Wow" moments come quietly, like the gentle way the sun shines on the petals of a flower in the garden or the water sparkles on the sea. Most often my WOW! moments are connected to nature or the arts, such as a beautiful painting, dance, or music.
Recently Instagram has decided I need more music in my life and they post things for me to notice. Some of the music has touched my heart. I find myself saying "Wow"!!!
Art always intrigues me. I wonder
"how did someone actually do it and what was their inspiration?"
"how did someone actually do it and what was their inspiration?"
The light and darkness, the shadows delight.
How is it that the light just captures the three cups, yet holds the fruit in the shadow?
The sunlight enhances the petals of a flower.
I love chatting with the birds or animals that cross my path. This parrot enchanted me. But the cat that shows up on my patio at unexpected morning moments will pause when spoken to and I say "Wow" "you are comforted by my voice".

Light guides the way. It says here I am, follow me, notice what you notice.
What makes you say "Wow"?
I am planning on some "Wow" moments in the next 2 weeks, as I adventure to Alaska. I am sure there will be some nature involved, but maybe even a song. How I would love to hear the songs of a whale, a bird, or the strum of a guitar.
Sending love,

Beautiful pictures, especially the parrot. Safe travels, Marilyn!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad a cat is showing up on your patio! And wow on Alaska! Perhaps you'll see seals, too. That would be a wow! I suspect the light on the cups comes from a sun puddle -- you know, that spots where cats like to sit? And the apples are just off enough to catch the reflected highlight but not be in the light enough. It's a beautiful photo. So is the teapot and I love the painting!
ReplyDeleteThe parrot on your shoulder is definitely a "wow" moment. What a beautiful bird. I like the picture of the sunlight on the three cups. It reminds me of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What a wonderful adventure for you to see Alaska, Marilyn. I've always wanted to visit the state. I hope the weather will be nice for you. Safe travels, and have fun!
