I was out taking more photos this morning, a soul-pleasing way to spend the beginning of the weekend. I read your most recent post Joanna, the one introducing your new theme of “breathing space” and I would greatly look forward to your blending of “quiet words” into the whole of what you are planning there, at Confident Writing. Joanna and Ulla, about the photo: That blue leaf with the jagged edges is what made me think of whispering. I captured the whole flower in the original of the photo, and it was a perfect one (the marigold) without a single flaw. Striking. Yet the more I looked at it, the more that blue leaf commanded my attention, and I’ve looked at this a lot! I took the photo last October. A few days ago I finally took the leap to crop the photo in a way that would allow the leaf to play a more starring role. Hello everyone, mahalo for your visits!

The brevity of your post underscores your intent. Pristine! Aloha Rosa,

Having spent some time of my life in the teaching trade I can say that calmness sometimes is more effective than being loud. It is funny but often students react more to calmness than to a teacher shouting. Rosa,

I might see if I can work a writing post out of it too... sometimes those quiet words are the ones that make the biggest difference. I'm smiling at your choice of photo - for me it's a bit more exuberant than a whisper :-) Maybe this is why sometimes a part of you is enough... even one part of you is rich, colourful, and wonderful What a lovely message, lesson, reminder Rosa.
