Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
I love the color orange for the reasons stated in the photo. I love the intense warmth and friendliness of the color. It invites you in to enjoy yourself without expecting you to dress up for the event. That, to my way of thinking, is delightful. I am days away from a summer filled with this delight. I can't take it in, though. These last days of school are so intense and important that I can't think beyond them. That's OK, though; dreams have a way of waiting--for a little bit.

ReplyDeleteOnce I learned, that 'breathing in' represents connection, while 'breathing out' speaks about 'to make things happening'.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Friday you all.

Next year, this time, this will be me looking forward to the summer and back on the year behind me. I have a position in the fall. You give poetry to these moments in our lives and are able to connect all the dots so that we go from a sunset on a beach to our dreams of the future.
ReplyDeleteLovely post filled with a sense of anticipation and a love for natural beauty...
ReplyDeleteI share your love for the orange colour, created by the sun and reflected either in the sea or sky.
Stunning photography.
Have a lovely weekend dear Sandy,
xoxo

Just beautiful, Sandy! I can see why you are excited. I know you will have a great summer.
ReplyDeleteEvery hard working teacher needs a vacation to recharge the batteries. Come and see pics of the fires in AZ on my blog. My friends sent them to me. They are packing. The fires are just two miles from their home.
ReplyDeleteAh, such peace and contentment in your thoughts and photo.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is breathtaking. I too love the color orange! It is a friendly color for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your final days of school!!
