We see in part ~

 
You cannot depend on your eyes
when
your imagination
is out of focus

this is true.

i've always loved this self-portrait shot of you. i have a similar photo that i took in chicago, where the mirrored glass panels seamed together, so the image in the mirror does not quite line up, creating a sort of mosaic me.

love it!

Very creative, Susan. A wonderful pairing of image and words. Reminds me of the children's books that have series of images on top and on bottom that can be mixed and matched.

Yep, that might explain why I often see things that aren't really there.

Connie said...

Ohhh my! This is such a perfect revelation between what we see with our physical eyes and what we don't see because of our spiritual blindedness. Faith brings everything into focus even when the outer circumstances are askew.

You are soooo wise S. Etole!!

Blessings

True words and food for thought.

I keep thinking about that quote, it's mind-boggling. And I should love to know what was in your thoughts when you took your self portrait. The look suggests your imagination was very much in focus - a brilliant photo.

Memories Of Mine said...

Thank you for this post. I believe imagination is very important. It is something that needs to be nurtured from a young age and if not used it becomes lost. The world is a sadder place when imagination is lost.

A wonderful interplay of quotation with picture.

Jeanne Frances Klaver said...

I love this; how many times to I feel this...fractured...splitting apart...usually when I'm not grounded.

Deidra said...
