Week 3 - Corners
I have to admit – when I first read the prompt for week three, I thought “What the heck???”
It was only after a couple of hours of letting it ruminate in the back of my mind that I was able to process an idea. Fortunately I was able to get away the next afternoon with my new camera and my tripod to get some shots to illustrate my thoughts.
I am totally in a place where I can embrace corners… Although in looking at the flicker pictures, I realized that I only thought about the kind of corner you walk around – not the kind you can stuff things into or hide in… interesting.
Anyhow – back to embracing corners. I REALLY used to have my whole life planned out. I was always peeking around the corner to the next thing. The older I get, and the more God works on my heart, the more I see that I need to just BE in the place He has me – and not always look beyond that.
There is a sweet blessedness to being… to loving the wall I’m up against, instead of always craning my neck to see what might be waiting for me around the corner.
I’m content. I can wait. I can just BE here. I WILL embrace the mystery of having no idea what tomorrow holds.
Only then can I truly be present.
I had some fun with techniques on this one and even tried my hand at painting something besides just a solid background. I used metal tape (saw this on Technique Tuesday) to mimic the look of the boards on the side of the shack in the pictures… LOVE the way it turned out.
