Those corn stalks do seem to appear out of nowhere, don't they? I like your metapor here...

Sorry...that's supposed to be metaphor -- sort of like metapor though, too!

Such an astute observation.

I usually prefer color, but black and white was great for this.

for some reason this photo makes me feel peaceful. the gentle curves are like music to me, peaceful music

Yes. Life is like that. Not tidy. Not predictable. Not even safe. Yet for the One who caused the corn and the salvia to grow, not a surprise. And I want to learn to rest in His plans.

i feel today like i am standing in a field of corn, opened up your blog for a read and burst out laughing. i would say about your post today, "mission accomplished, message received". life is like that sometimes.
