Green Eyes Wide Open » perspective http://greeneyesopen.com Me, my iPhone camera and reflections on the weird and wonderful things I see.

Then “Life” has the audacity to ask us, “why would you WANT control? What is so creative and interesting about CONTROL??”

Nothing… Absolutely … Nothing is interesting and creative about CONTROL.

So, after chatting with overseas “cyclist, author, researcher, swimmer, professor” person who reminds me, “if it’s not fun… Why do it?” I look into my wallet and see that which remains the same, never changing… love, international coin and a bit of luck. I always have and always will carry tokens with me that inspire, remind and make me smile… While traveling, spinning, dancing in the vortex of chaos.

Breathe….

Thank you Y.P.

Good night…Sweet dreams. XO

When there is a story of silence, distance, miscommunication, joy, elation, confusion, fear, awe, it can be told if you want to see. We are amalgamated to other humans creating unbreakable connections and links that are most often obvious through family ties, community, jobs, beliefs. IMG_5866 Then there are those connections, a binding of invisible thread that can’t be explained, that bring two separate entities together…to merge, unite, meld, fuse, combine, secure, fasten…slowly slowly over time, quietly, year after year, patiently…creating something stronger than each entity, separate, individually.IMG_5864 The thread, for both is the serendipitous inspiration for strength, balance, growth….and….sometimes…silliness! The eyes of another can be the mirror reminding you who you are, when you forget. I will remind you…please remind me.

Good night…Sweet dreams… XO
