life is


life is a garden,
not a road
we enter and exit
through the same gate
wandering,
where we go matters less
than what we notice

~ Bokonon ~
(The Lost Book)
This picture was taken on the lot in Darwin Illinois where my mother and her sister grew up. I found this to be a haunting picture...I could almost feel 'Grandie' my grandfather sitting in this porch swing smiling!

That's a very meditative photo, as is the quote.

Great photo! I agree, it's haunting but in a cozy way :)

I try really hard to stay "present" in my life and notice the little things that make life sweet - it always amazes me how difficult it is to stay in the present.
