Flower Art: A Meditation On Purple And White. Good Night.

by Jon Katz

I decided to do a study in Purple and White, two of my favorite flowers so far this year. The colors just run through my head all day. Another beautiful day. Seeking peanut butter for the children of the food pantry, going to the Mansion for my meditation class, sitting out in the sun with Zip (Zud?) and having lunch with Maria on the porch, then photographing flowers.

I always remember how fortunate I am and how rich my life is. I don’t want to waste a day of it.

This weekend a celebration of Spring, thinking, walking, writing, taking pictures, reading, and giving thanks. I even found a great mystery on Amazon set in Amsterdam. I’ll check it out tonight. I’m checking out early tonight; see you in the morning—zip selfie to come.

Maria and I are finally figuring out how to relax a bit. I’m taking it easy on Saturdays but still blogging and taking pictures.

This is a very Maria story. She came home after an hour-long walk in the woods with Zinnia and Fate. She lost her socks on the walk. She still needs to explain how. I’ll get it out of her. I’m not surprised. She’d walk barefoot until October if she could and if there weren’t so many ticks. I’m signing off for tonight while it’s still light.
I look forward to seeing you in the morning. Please take a look at my pictures.

 

Purple, then white

White roses are one of my new favorite photos. Their purity is powerful.

Abstract Tulip.

White reflections.

And more interpretation, flowers as spiritual sculptures,

  1. Losing her socks says so much about Maria! I believe she must have been enamored by something that she saw, that she had no idea she lost her socks! I think that’s a wonderful way to be in this world – caught up in the beauty, awe and majesty around you. I tend to be too attached to a what-could-happen sort of thought process, and sometimes miss the beauty around me. That is getting better as I am learning how to feel safe in this world.

  2. You guys are just wonderful, and a good example for those who’re glued to television and who never get out in nature. Thanks for sharing Bedlam Farm with us and love your flower photos!
