This was such a beautiful and soothing read! Really resonated with the heart. Thank you for sharing, and may May give you more micro-moments of joy and wonder. 🌸
Thank you for your reflection and working with what you had. I needed it, as I am in the throes of life becoming and long awaited changes AND doctors’ appointments for new issues that have arisen with this very rare disease diagnosis. It seems like for every courageous step I take forward, I am pushed back three. But I choose to believe that trouble don’t last always and to look for the micro-miracles, for God’s sustaining power and provisions, and whatever good that happens each day…no matter how small.
No one talks about how you can deeply love your life and the people in it and still need pockets of time and space to be completely alone. We can't be anything to anyone if we are nothing to ourselves."
This touched me. While everyone talks the talk, they don't understand when you really need the time alone.
Omg this is so beautiful Alex! It also reminded me of photo a day challenge I used to be obsessed about on Medium! Thank you for connecting to the photographer inside me!
Also, it feels like I'm currently undergoing a death and rebirth cycle...so the piece was perfect!
On my tea bag the other day it read… “The world laughs in flowers”. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love this, I have it on my website!
He said that line in a book I’m reading about Margaret Fuller, it’s very poetic

Your words are as beautiful as your photos. They're soothing and quiet, yet so thoughtful. What a gift! I am grateful! 🙏🏽💕
Such beautiful photos and reflections, thank you. Nature has taught me so much in recent years ❤️🌿
I was so grateful for one particular flower last week, opening in the dark and blooming only for one night.

Lovely Alex, flowers are so inspiring, and yes agree that we all need a break, to be alone 🙏🏻
"this 1.5-mile walk showed me so much about overcoming and returning home to myself."
This took me to Ram Dass, "We are all just walking each other home." Thanks, Alex!
Love this:)
Beautiful photos and narration of your springtime stroll. I feel so inspired by this share. Very intentional, deep presence of quality time with self.
beautiful photos, the last one is my favorite. I also need pockets of alone time to keep me sane :D
"Adversity may bend me but cannot break me." Wow, thank you. I've also found respite in art, taking photos and drawing or painting them later.

Lovely read!
I love how you make a stroll a fine work of art. A healing ritual, a medium for others to heal as well, to become whole. ❤️
