Photos, Zen, and Blessings
One should really use the camera
as though tomorrow you'd be stricken
blind.
-Dorothea Lange
"Photo Meditation" copyright 2009 Meri Arnett-Kremiansometimes the things
that bring you lightness of spirit
are things you never expected
to see in a million years
and yet
there they are
just waiting
for you to stumble upon them
just waiting
to make you laugh out loud
just waiting
to make you dance for joy
and (if you have your camera at the ready)
just waiting for you
to freeze-frame the moment
so you can recapture
the ecstasy
whenever you want
we find the blessings we seek
without even knowing we're looking
we give the blessings we are
just by being truly ourselves
************
How were you blessed today
in ways you didn't expect?
How did you extend your blessing
to others?

the universe just showers us with these blessings...and when you stop to look really closely there is more to the blessing than you thought at first...a double blessing
and also extra blessings when you load the photos and see something that you didn't notice when shooting the shots...that's a triple blessing...

excellent pic of the monks. i love it.
Your poem is definitely a source of inspiration. I think small blessings can be found if only one is looking. I love the little things that life gives, most. They are the treasures the heart carries forever.
