8/8/05 Self Portrait of the Day


First time putting digital camera on tripod and using timer. Remember Peter saying that we learn when we are in pain. Thought about going to the cemetery and photographing myself at my children's graves, but thought that was too much. I've been to that place (physically and psychologically) before and seems like I should be past that pain now. I want to connect with others who have gotten beyond their pain - who have become stronger to spite the bullshit that life has thrown at them. Life is pretty damn amazing if it's looked at in the right way. My goal in life used to be to become a wise old woman. Now it's to be present to the process of becoming a wise old woman.
