Yesterday evening I decided to take a walk down the street to photograph some of the flowers in our neighborhood. I drive by them almost every day, admiring their beauty and most of the time when I think of photographing them the light isn’t right.
At a little after 7 pm yesterday, the sky was overcast and the light was beautiful for making photos. Here are some of my
Impressions of Beauty
from my short walk, along with two poems by Wendell Barry that I happened upon today.
At night make me one with the darkness
In the morning make me one with the light
When I rise up, let me rise joyful like a bird.
When I fall, let me fall without regret, like a leaf.
Let me wake in the night and hear it raining and go back to sleep.
— Wendell Berry

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
— Wendell Barry
May you walk in beauty.
