There are times when I want to liken the creative part and piece of my daily practice to a meditative mantra. A single word and phrase repeated. Over and over. Again and again. Over and over....and again.

I begin. I walk the same walk. I feel what I feel. I connect. I look. I see. I capture. I begin.

It's become my mirror of self-reflection. Where I am...who I am...what I am - today.

Some days - I quite like what I see. There's color...and light...and extraordinary spring life.

Other days - nothing comes as easy.

But - my body knows...and my mind follows. I return. I repeat. I repeat and I return.

All I need to do is to simply begin.

To walk the same walk. To feel what I feel. To connect. To look. To see. To capture.

The prize is - always - in the practice. And the beauty is - always - found within.
