Healing myself - MSA March/April 2017 "Healing"

enigmatic self-portrait; stay curious, stay healthy,
"breathe deep the beauty of this moment, we do not linger long"

love this and really looking forward to how it develops. condolences on your great losses.

Tman. Its strong - most everything about it communicates powerfully. And it should. 'Wish it wasn't from pain. Taking stock of what's important is, indeed, healing. I hope you can't move 2' in any direction w/out encountering those that know you well and love you.

We are much alike. I used to call photography my 'insanity asylum'. Maybe that's a little heavy handed with the language, but sometimes that's how I feel, and photography helps me focus on something else for a while, something meaningful, and hopefully in the meantime the garbage in my brain will be processed and I feel better when I come out of the darkroom. Very interesting photograph.

Thank you all for the support. It's good to have APUG too - don't underestimate that!

@Thomas Bertilsson: I know what you mean. I have that also wandering around with my camera in the fields or alongside the river for hours - maybe only taking a shot or two. It helps clearing your mind and putting everything a bit into perspective - while scanning the scenery for a good shot. That's also why I love pinhole photography. The image is completely made inside my mind before I open the shutter - thus not leaving any room to go "frantic in my brain" anymore
Recommended for anyone with a burn-out or similar mind boggling matters at hand. It doesn't make the problems go away, but at least it makes the problems smaller (less heavy).

@HiHoSilver: I have a wonderful wife and two daughters and if I step in the fourth direction - for me there is also Jesus to walk and talk with me.

@dasBlute: "breathe deep the beauty of this moment" - not that's a perfect advise - will do, thanks!

With my condolences..

An MSA on healing - sending one to the Great Physician. How right.
