“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Learning Still….

6 April, 2005 /

a girl and her dog

I realize there are things in life I will never be good at.

1. Keeping my bedroom clean.
2. Math.
3. Remembering to call people back.
4. Parallel parking.
&
5. Sports photography.

I want my pictures to tell a story. I want you to look at a picture and SEE what I am seeing.
I wanted you all to see my daughter stealing second base. I wanted you to see the frustration of girls fast pitch softball. I wanted you to see the humor of a baseball game going on and the team of 12 and 13 year old girls talking to boys through a fence instead of watching & playing the game.
I captured ALL these pictures, but it just looks like a bunch of girls in matching uniforms.

In light of my latest discovery… I am going to be focusing on the pictures I CAN take.

I’m going to keep trying though.
