Before the Gratitude Tarot, there was a blog. Photos You Feel: pictures and words I shared with the world nearly every day. And here is one of those posts, this one first published on August 11, 2011. Enjoy, share, feel what it has to say to you. This is exactly what led me to create the cards.

you are not only
the dulcet hues of tranquility
your ways and days
are not all patience and stillness
you
yes even you
being ripe with the Vast Mystery
can dance a tempestuous display
that swamps us into awe
your face
your muse
Beauty
rises beyond this surface
your face transforming
even as the moments change
your nature pulling us
along these currents of your emotions
we change our stroke
to match your pace
bring our attention to breath
process
form
all in the hopes
that this frenzy
this flailing
will spit us out
upon restful shores
will bring us through
to a gentler space
it is not in speeding up
that we stay with you
not in forcing our will upon
your fluid nature
it is in the seeking of hands
held wide and joined together
soul-family woven in your shimmer
that our hearts are filled
to overflowing
with Gratitude

Once again, your photograph has touched me in a way I don’t understand! I feel the pricking of tears at the back of my eyes and a twinge in my heart. I don’t know why and I don’t know where it comes from, but I like it. Never before have I been affected in an emotional way by art. Thank you for showing me this part of me! xxx
