Wonder thoughts and slants how truth and perceptive truth can differ. Also love how you end with thoughts toward kindness. We should be anything in kind.
Hi Anita – thanks for the comment and you are so right – “our perceived truth” needs to be examined eh?
and thanks for the reminder to try to always be kind….
I would say it depends on the person on the receiving end and their ability to handle what you’re giving them. The last image is very beautiful and I like how you captured the shadows from the bike tire. I like to have fun with shadows sometimes. I took a photo at the Park last year where the long shadow I was casting made it appear as if I was a basketball player.
Hi Linda – I have a stretched out shadow i took at the beach a while back – and shadows can be so fun.
thanks for the feedback on the pictures and poem in this post – 🙂 – and the person on the receiving end is key….
Last year when we had such a horrid Spring with day after day of rain and or gray skies (just the same as this year) I started calling the sunny days “good shadow days” and would make shadow pictures of the critters or myself when I could capture them as they always were good for a smile. In March of 2018, I was walking in the Park and it was a sunny day. Parker, the squirrel who is always by my heels like a faithful dog, or greeting me on the trail for peanuts, was munching contentedly beside me. I got our shadows together in one photo. I am tall and had a long storm coat on as it was cold. This is one of my favorite Park pictures in this header image: https://lindaschaubblog.net/2018/03/05/me-and-my-shadow-2/
well actually sometimes that is the “only” way to deliver certain truths – the ouch – the sting – and the offense is sometimes just going to happen – but I think it depends on the topic and the people – and you two have so many years together – ahhhh so nice
Leya’s comment sums up this post so well. It seems “Truth” is not easy to deal with – to realize it and even to deliver it (as your “TIPS FOR DELIVERING TRUTH”). Realizing truth ans delivering it are not easy.
Oh, how one can really tells for certain that one’s version of truth is really the truth – what is the real truth? Your bike picture is an interesting one. It depends on one’s perspective isn’t it? If you look at the color of the light at much closer scale, is it still truly green? Or if ask a bug (which can only perceive few colors) what would it say about the color (assuming it is actually on the bike directly)? On the other hand if you have an equipment that can analyze all wave lengths reflects from the bike what is the reading? Hmm. this goes on and on..
Great point about limiting – and “attention blindness” is part of being human because we can only take in so much stimuli at once – hm – thanks for the nice comment
(EN) I love your bicycles pictures. The two wheels in sequence and the childhood in the poem express very well the process. Thanks for sharing,Y😊

Beautiful proverbial write with inspiring images. Indepth too! I believe that writings and reads of early civilizations were proverbial with influences and benefits of refinement, a positive impact on man’s behavior and interactions. Great share Prior!

I like the idea of dazzling gradually – sometimes it is also about right time and right place so that the message will be received.

A great way of explaining the truth by comparing it to our view of an object. Perspective is everything … but also limiting.
