Unruffled Moment of Calm and Beauty: #1
The He/art of Resistance
Welcome to the beginning of my bi-weekly Moment of Calm & Beauty. I call it “unruffled” because it invokes being “poised and serene especially in the face of setbacks or confusion,” or an ongoing coup in one’s country...
Rustling about in my photo archives, I came across this moody picture:
One hill already in the shadows while the other hill is still enjoying the warmth of the late afternoon sun - the place where light and shadow meet.
Feel free to take this image and metaphor into the day with you and look for both: the light AND the shadow.
Stay fierce, but walk in beauty!* (hágoónee,' a Navajo/Diné farewell greeting)
Here is the introductory post to this series of “Unruffled.”
The February chapter of my book, Seasons of a Wild Life, invites us to hone our perceptions, build resilience, and prepare for the energetic shift that accompany the earliest signs of spring.
Thank you for allowing me to dwell on this photo and use it to illustrate the approach of the night. Thank you!
