Beauty in the Bleak

In my experience, an image arrives like a friend, eager to share something. I receive them, and then they become conversation partners. They impart insight as I engage with them- validating a certain natural synchronicity.

Last week, I took a walk, near my home. It’s a path I take routinely, so I didn’t expect to have a fresh experience; And yet, I do.

This seed-shape, and its exquisite beauty, is enhanced by the camera’s aperture. Its protective curve seems to embrace an encapsulated message: “Do not to hurry the season. There is beauty in the bleak.”

What other latent messages are carried in this season?
