A Million Points of Light

Dear Diary,

A new month begins but this new reality we find ourselves in shows no end in sight.  It is a frosty morning and the light coming through Auntie's Tree is breaking into a lovely effect with the frost.  Today I've begun an on-line course, 30 Days of Perception, with Kim Manley Ort, a contemplative photographer and teacher I've taught with before.  "For today, I’d like you to set an intention to be open, to be willing to be amazed by what you find in your everyday life."  I think this might be a good start.

"Perception is what and how you see before you have any thoughts or ideas about what you see. We first become aware through the senses. So, perceptions are often not “things” or “objects.” A perception could be a flash of colour or light, a curve where things meet, a texture or pattern."
