  2. modestly – United Kingdom – Reflective, and domestic, a wannabe poet and philosopher drowning in the complexities of life. More Marge Simpson than Elizabeth Barret, but what the hell.Tripping through life with the aid of dead writers, and some live ones, minor medication, and a wonderful, loving, maddening set of teenage boys, and a husband I adore. Update - the boys are no longer teenagers and I still adore the man. https://platform.linkedin.com/badges/js/profile.js

  10. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

    Beautiful expression. I find myself drawn into the space between the rocks and it is comforting somehow.

    Beautiful, beautiful words. It is the mystery of life that really is not that difficult if we just sit back and observe & contemplate (and your words and photo help). Lao-zi would be very proud of your poem. 🙂

    I really love the concept of “nothing” being a place where everything is. Because it is impossible to do nothing, to be nothing, or to feel nothing. It’s all just a state of mind. But there is always something. So “nothing” is actually many things. Nothing is the possibility, and the probability of life.

  22. chrisstov – I have reached retirement age. I am a keen amateur photographer. I like walking and listening to classical and film music, also some popular and pop music from the 60s and 70s. I like reading and have recently discovered Kindle and lately the kindle fire.

    Nice tantalizing picture of wondering what is in that dark hole.

  23. Dr. Denny Wilkins – Dr. Denny Wilkins professes journalism at a small, private university in the Northeast. He has climbed, hiked, kayaked, photographed, skied, and otherwise meandered aimlessly throughout the American West for decades. He has degrees in geology, environmental studies, and communication — and has tried to make use of them as a co-founder of the progressive cultural blog ScholarsandRogues.com. He’s broadly interested in how the world works and why it works that way. He hates writing, although he does like having written well.

  24. Marshall Weber – Dunwoody, GA – I am 19 and have been a birder for over eight years and a naturalist for over three. I love photography, writing and drawing as well as helping others see the beauty, diversity, complexity, fascination and interconnectedness of nature. I titled my website "A Passion for Birds" because, while I have a passion for all of nature, my interest in birds started it all. Birds will always have a special place in my heart and hopefully I can help you love them and learn about them too!

    That is one deep poem.
