Mindfulness


In pursuit of a mindful life, I am trying to let my thoughts go.  Wherever they want.  I want to know what consumes me.  It's interesting to see where they take me.  Where do your thoughts take you when you let them go?  

Mine are consumed by the beauty of Namibia... 
The photographs I still want to take... 
Where I still want to travel to...
What I want to do when I have the time...
How I miss my family back home...
My family here, their happiness...
So many things.

And so I drift on...

Nightfall

"I wish I could show you
when you are lonely or in the darkness
the astonishing light
of your own being"

- Hafiz

This photograph is of the 1905 Jetty in Swakopmund just after nightfall. I was a glorious day and I just kept wandering around here looking out to the sea and taking photographs.  The sky remained beautiful for a long time after the sun had set. I started walking back to my car but turned around for a final shot and this was the result.

It is my favourite.
