A Fresh Perspective


when the pieces don't seem to fit together anymore

when you're stuck in a dark place
you fear you'll inhabit forever

sometimes all it takes

"A Fresh Perspective" - photo copyright 2009 Meri Arnett-Kremian

to piece things back together

to turn the key and set yourself free

is
to find a new way
of looking at things


p.s This shot wasn't layered or manipulated in Photoshop.
This is as it came out of the camera. I just
took the time to notice what was around me
and found a new way to show things to you.

Hi Meri

yes it is there already for us to find...

but sometimes, as you know, there is a time for 'stuckness' too and that's ok...

because to feel released we need to know what it is to feel stuck...

Happy days

It's true that sometimes we need to wrestle our demons and stay "stuck" for awhile. But as you know Delwyn, some people make a career out of being stuck, because then they can spin a story about how miserable a life they were dealt.

before i read your bit about the photo being as it was, i thought how creative you were to have done this to a photo. then i read it, and now i think how open you are to seeing things with new eyes, and noticing things one normally wouldnt.

this is incredible. what a gorgeous image. i really really like what you have done with it.

but it is because of what you wrote that i am so glad i came here today. my husband just came home from work. he was laid off today. i've been out of work since april, when i was laid off. a fresh perspective is exactly what i need right now, and this may be the perfect time for it. i'm scared out of my wits, but i'm hoping i can see this as an opportunity.

thank you for this.

A Girl and Her Dog

Image
It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering  from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot. She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree. She had a lovely singing voice and often performed  as the vocalist for weddings and funerals. I remember once when I was really little that she was on television in Indianapolis. She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
