Has my heart gone to sleep?
Have the beehives of my dreams stopped working, the waterwheel
of the mind run dry, scoops turning empty,
only shadow inside?
No, my heart is not asleep. It is awake, wide awake.
Not asleep, not dreaming - its eyes are opened wide
watching distant signals, listening on the rim
of vast silence.
- Antonio Machado
As I was scrolling, I thought for sure you wrote this. You could have, while listening on the rim of that fluted water jug. Great pics.
ReplyDeletekass, thanks for the vote of confidence. these days it's a challenge to write anything other than my name.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the glass dome were thoughtful. The slow spiral unraveling was how I perceived it -- analogous to life. -- barbara
ReplyDeletebarbara-thank you. i see by your logo that we both have an interest in spirals, of all sorts. isn't it great how they show up in unexpected places?
ReplyDeleteStanding,
ReplyDeleteThough the pictures are not very appealing, I have to appreciate their quality. I specially captivated by pic no. 1… I love how the light pass throughout the container to be reflected on the ground and therefore defying the darkness of the shadow… A strong sing that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel?
Is your question of the day, whether the container is half empty, empty or full?

gabi-i like that you found the photos unappealing. it ties in with my question of the day, which is the first line of machado's poem, "has my heart gone to sleep?"
ReplyDeleteto what do we open or close our heart?
