Which rather aptly describes the interior of my cranium of late.
A myriad of transitions compete for my attention; some are genuinely weighty with long-term implications, others less ponderous yet no less demanding, competing for my focus . . . and more than a few others ramble and gallop scatter-shot across the projection screen of my consciousness for their own development.
In the days, weeks and months ahead I'll (likely) delve into the details, but for tonight suffice it to observe that with revelations also come attendant opportunities and callings for action — concrete choices and steps specifically in service of making manifest the visions and insights at hand.
This bounty of plots is at once exhilarating, frightening, challenging and . . . exhausting. No surprise, though: any and all movement, whether physical, mental or spiritual requires the expenditure of energy — often in significant portions. As it should be: rewards tend to be proportionate to the effort put forth. An elegant balance, that.
Thus, this image, submitted at the end of a long evening wrestling with one of these new callings: a self-imposed decision to utterly restructure my entire photography catalog database, as managed by Adobe Lightroom, a task which is quickly revealing itself to be far more nettlesome than I'd expected. Of the major adjustments to my life's course this one is of lesser import . . . yet is also exquisitely symbolic of the overall state of affairs in play generally, and of the care, attention to detail, fortitude, stamina and persistence which each of these adventures demand.
A peek into my soul this evening. A new birth, incubating.
