I do that… take picture with an imaginary camera in my head when there’s no way to take the real thing. When life takes over, when I’m needed by others all the time…

It keeps me sane.

wow. did you hit the nail on the head with this post.

“time comes around in stages” is such a lovely way to put it, and a gentle reminder.

i’m so glad you commented on my blog (it’s really the only way i find people these days). i find your thoughts so similar to mine, it feels like you’ve plucked them out of my head. tho’ these days, it’s opposite for me, i can find all kinds of things to write about, but am low on inspiration on the photo front. but these things do come in cycles. and this too shall pass.

Paradox of motherhood… boy, did you say it sister! Oh yes, it is.

Thanks for the post. Illuminating the paradox that many of us feel with words and pictures. Being able to feel the comaraderie of others and knowing that we will miss even this when it’s gone is good.

This is a reply to Meg Evan’s comment, who happened to be commenting on Marty’s comment. We’re just a big circle here, aren’t we?

Anyway, in response to the name changing thing, a dear friend of mine had gotten tired of hearing the “mom” thing one day (why is it never said in a loving way?). She stated that she did not want to hear “mom” one more time, grabbed a magazine, turn on her heel, and while walking up the stairs said, “if you need me you can call me…Coco!”
We still sometimes call her Coco.

I had to laugh at Marty’s comment too – the first thing I thought when I read your post was ‘I wish I could use the bathroom in peace, just once in a while’. I guess I’ll miss it when they leave?

Have a lovely break.

ps Your photographs are always so beautiful, Amy. They look spontaneous but perfectly constructed.

I really do feel the ebb and flow of creativity and time. I love your photographs–and that photography challenges (me, you, us all) to find beauty in various places. I’m hoping that you find those moments you need for creative time. I’ll be here when you return

There is so much truth here. Beautifully written. And just what I needed to read today. Thank you for that.

Nicely put. I look forward to your return, but for now take your time and make the moments last.
