Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.

After the bombs stopped, silence filled the streets the kind of silence that follows loss.
We walk among the ruins of what used to be home, trying to find pieces of ourselves.

Touched grass today and can't say I was much changed by the experience. Which probably means I was already cool and normal prior to that

for a moment light
creeps across the empty field
dead leaves glow golden
Golden and green leaves hang against a soft blue sky, catching the light for a brief moment before fading. The image and haiku evoke mono no aware, a Japanese term for the wistful, bittersweet awareness of impermanence.

Light shining through dew drops on a fennel blossom.

#EastCoastKin #Macro
A closeup of dew drops on a fennel blossom stalk. It is not in focus, so the drops appear as large, glowing, somewhat translucent dots ranging from gold to almost white. They vary in size. At the bottom of the image there is a blossom with dew that is a little bit more in focus, and it looks like a cluster of gold jewels.
