'I find nature forever gives me metaphors for my life's journey.' Herta Klassen
This photograph was taken on a hike up towards Mount Baker.
What is the first thing your eye goes to?
Gaze further into the image and sweep the whole picture, notice shapes, colours, lines, details, symbols.
Are you drawn to a particular part of the image?
Don't think too hard but stay in your heart.
What are you avoiding because you aren't comfortable with it?
Notice that.
Which part of the image is just for you, and linger there. Be open and be present to it. Take a longer look. Open your imagination. Are there feelings, longings, hopes, memories?
Simply be and let whatever wants to come up. Slowly notice what is being revealed in your seeing or your feeling.
Is there an invitation?
Let go of the image and rest.
