Something so simple as farm-fresh eggs from the Saturday Farmer's Market. I love how they give us a variety of eggs from different chickens "Red" eggs to a coppery "Saxifrage Olive." Eggs also make me think of the fragility of life. The shells are strong -- to a point, but also fragile. Easy to break. They are meant to be strong enough to protect a baby chick until it bursts out on it's own power. Or something else happens to break it out ... Which leads me to this :
"The most living moment comes
when those who Love each other
meet each other’s eyes and in
what flows between them.”

Truthfully, the photo that really touched my heart in September was this one. I know--It's not a great picture--I had the wrong lens on my fancy new camera ... In September, some close friends decided to get married after years of being an item. As long as I've known them, they've been a couple. They just hadn't bothered to get married. The time is right : Their kids are grown ... One of them has a serious health issue at present. Maybe the thought that one of them could die before they ever officially tied the knot was the factor that nudged them onto this new leg of their journey together. That and health insurance ...
In this picture, they are looking into each other's eyes -- Best Friends -- about to walk down the aisle to get married. Even though it's a blurry picture, you can tell there's a lot of LOVE passing between them in this moment. They embody the Rumi quote above.
Best Wishes to you both, Vicki and Lee! Thank you for letting be be part of your story. It's an honor!
