Diazepam Online Purchase “Ten times a day something happens to me like this – some strengthening throb of amazement – some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.” ~ Mary Oliver

Journal Reflections

https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/cognitive-screening-assessments/ A walk in the desert and I experience that same throb, a sense of wonder repeatedly. Walking in the desert is not exercise for my body – I hardly take a step before I stop to listen and look – but exercise for my mind, my soul, my spirit. I hike far enough so that I am there, alone. Only the music of the coyote song or cactus wren accompany my breathing and the racing of my heart.

https://www.appliquecafeblog.com/ikea/ I discovered something about my photographic habits a couple of weeks ago. Whenever I see something I want to photograph, I ready my camera settings and raise the viewfinder to my eye. If I see what I anticipated, I trill in excitement. Something like “oh, oh, oh” — always in triplicate. I do it without thought. When I hear my unexpected little song, I laugh.

watch So the coyote, the cactus wren, and the camera lady — we sing together in the desert.

    https://gritandgracefamilyfarm.com/farm-journal/about-us/ Huh! I’m with you; photography is (one of) my passion(s). The study of attention is fascinating; love your photos and poetry.

  5. https://www.grupoursa.com/faq/ A favorite post, this one. I, too, love the solitude of the desert. The smell, the sounds of silence, of nature. “oh, oh, oh!” I will hear that in my mind every time I see a new photo of yours! LOVE this, Bo.

      It’s so true — the desert is such a wondrous place, undiscovered by so many – which adds to its attraction. Places that offer solitude are special, indeed. As for that “oh, oh, oh”, listen to yourself for a while and see it there’s a habit you associate with a great find — it’s kind of fun to notice. 🙂

  6. Love this image and your thoughts, Bo. I understand this:

    “Something like “oh, oh, oh” — always in triplicate.”

    🙂

  7. Oddly enough, I do, Bo. Although it’s more like “ah, ah, ah” than “oh, oh, oh” for me. 🙂
