Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Circular Wonders

by

“From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun

There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It’s the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
‘Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life.” – Carmen Twillie and Lebo M

I spent the last 10 days circling back to Wisconsin to care for my eldest adult child after surgery. Enfolding her in my arms, comforting her, and kissing her good-night brought my heart and soul to a place of simple purpose and wonder-filled peace. In the circle of life, caring for each other, loving wholeheartedly, is the wheel that keeps us moving forward, generation by generation. I guess I still believe that Love makes the world go ’round.

Thank you, Ann-Christine, for a round world of beautiful images on your challenge! See it HERE.

  5. Hoping your daughter heals quickly. I imagine she is as comforted by you as you were seeing and feeling her. I used to say, when all my kids are in the same place at the same time, I am most content, and I sleep so well. It’s not that I don’t otherwise, but there is this sense of feeling complete in those moments…I guess. Yes, love makes the world go around.

    Once again, I loved the way your poetry weaved its way around your photos, Priscilla. My favorites are of the photographer, and the sand dollar. But all of them were creative selections for the challenge.

  9. So well-done Priscilla, but I most loved your comments about your time with your daughter. I’ve just returned from a week with my brother who is suffering from dementia. Comforting our loved ones tops the list of the things we do that can be the most difficult but are the most rewarding.
