This photo caught my eye at local library on Cape Ann MA ~ Manchester Public Library for Sunny Simple Sundays and Weekly Top Shot Welcome to our Creative Harbor where we are usually (when holiday pause is not happening) creating brush painting, haiku and photography. Although 'pausing' is a simple way to slow down and tune into the fleeting moment, to appreciate what is right in front of oneself. It is the ability to respond to the 'now'. Whether creating photos, sketches or poetry or any creative expression, it provides me with the moments to 'attend to' the present. It helps me to slow down and breathe more deeply and listen to my soul and what it is telling me. Hope you have had time to 'pause' and enjoy creating and sharing with family and friends and will continue to do so through the end of the year and the New Year to come.
