New Work: Antique Orchid || Decorative Print [Update]

One of a series of orchids which bloomed during a study retreat. I’ll be making this available as a large canvas print as well, so do check back for an update.
During my four month retreat, a lot changed in the world. I was hosted by a professor of deep ecology in Bloomington, Indiana while he was traveling and teaching throughout Europe and points East, from January through April. The country was quite different upon their return and frankly, so was I. I’ll be writing about those changes here, doing a bit of traveling myself and sharing more of my photographic work. Something I’ve neglected far too long after an 8 year stint as a media analyst.
I’m choosing beauty. And also finding permaculture is a means of designing a life of beauty and abundance.
My psyche thanks me almost daily for ditching analysis and following my heart and my photographer’s wandering eye. ~ Gabrielle

#TravelLog : Visiting friends and collecting stories.

A dear old friend of mine has a vast collection of curiosities in his home as well as some incredible old photographs of his family. This is a photo of his grandmother, which she arranged to have taken as a wedding gift to her husband.

You Are Me.

My consciousness shines in your world, like a beautiful face in a soiled mirror, Seeing that reflection, I call myself you, an individual soul, as if I could be finite!
A finite soul, an infinite goddess, these are false concepts, in the minds of those unacquainted with truth. No space, my loving devotee, exists between your Self and my Self, Know this and you are free, This is the secret wisdom.

—Saraswati Rhasya Upanishad 2.31–2.33
