Respite

She is my world

Always has been and always will be.

Learning to be her Carer has been the toughest experience of my life.

There is no greater honour in life than being responsible for a human being.

Parent, President, School Teacher, Business Owner, all responsible for the lives of others.

My Day starts early.

I get myself aligned with the day ahead.

Magic and Photographer don’t factor into my day at this point because mum will need attention for the best part of the day.

My respite comes later.

I give thanks to the Gods that may be for my passions because if I didn’t have them, I don’t think my brain could cope.

I had no Brain Pattern 18 months ago.

I cultivated one.

My studies in Landmark Education supported me in creating a context around my Mothers Dementia and choosing this new role in my life with real power.

I like to think every day I am a little better, functional and effective.

In reality, I fail miserably at some point during the day.

It is what it is.

My Respite right now is my Camera.

My 45 minute walk late afternoon allows me time to empty myself, truly empty.

Breath, be at peace and just allow life and the moment to inspire my image creation.

The Sun was nice and low this evening.

It was perfect.

No Tripod, just my XPro2 paired with the spectacular XF135mm 3.5-5.6.

I love this Lens, it’s slow, however, I have no worries about high ISO because I have embraced the grain.

My Park was pretty packed with people. You wouldn’t think there was a Lockdown Curfew.

Are people really listening…I’m not.

My walk is critical to my well being.

This period of my life I now see as spiritual training.

For what?

I don’t know.🙏🏾

I am choosing faith in God that this time and experience is all part of my spiritual development.

The world right now has its own conversation and agenda about we must do and who we must be.

Stay Home🏠

Wash your hands

Protect and save lives.

We are all playing the game - keeping our distance from each other, self Isolation, this list goes on.

Who will we become when this is all over?

I am creating myself NOW.

My context is about Love….it always has been. This situation has just got me present to how critical Love is right now.

So my self-expression through my duty, close friends, my crafts and passions is firmly rooted in the authentic expression of love.

Find your way now, don’t wait.

When this is all over, we will not be going back to the way things were…..no way.

Life has presented us with a brand new platform to honestly express ourselves.
