Now looking forward

What kept coming to me over and over as I went through my images was how much time collapses on itself. I am saving images on Instagram and looking at them again all the time. I also do this on Pinterest, not as often, but often enough. In so doing I saw, with the older saved images how many things are still the same. It doesn't matter that they may be new materials, new models whatever...it is all frenetic, it says the same thing, look at me, look at me. It is new because I saw them a long time ago for example. It is so funny. Suddenly looking at past, old images feel like new, present stuff. That tells me that I don't have to feel that sense of rushing about trying to make things look just so. Of course it doesn't change having responsibilities and deadlines. But it does help me step back for a moment and embrace everything as having them around me as inspiration. Do, Do,DO also chimes in my head. That's a contrast to not rushing...the DO is an adreneline rush of excitement about direction. It tells me to continue as I am. It also speaks to being confident. Being happy, being kind, being mindful...being positively conscientious. It's like saying , look, that was the past and the past continues to happen and you know that you've gome through stresses and losses and you are now here. Where do you want to go next? In many ways, that is an honor and priviledge in itself. My point is to remember and to feel its embrace and to give my best to it.
