In the quiet

I was going to post about how I have been playing with my camera settings. It has been occupying my evenings with reading a book about digital photography and seeing what my camera was actually capable of. Let's just say, I need a lot more practice...

But after I started looking at this photo, I started thinking about a conversation I had with someone I once cared about. (Part of me still does, in an odd "I hate you" sort of way, but caring nonetheless.) I had told him that our relationship, for what it was, gave me a feeling of opening Pandora's box. It seemed, or rather it was, a huge mess created. How nice it would have been to have kept it closed. The thought of what laid within was much better than what was actually contained. What a shame that once something is opened, there is no closing it again. A seal broken, and a peek taken. Too bad that what we see, isn't what we dreamed it would always be. Our minds can create such beauty, such fullness and really all that exists...



...is empty.
