Beautiful Meditation

Rest is something that can be captured as form
of meditation, 
or a day-dream, the idea of slowing
down and taking notice 
of the present, re-store,
a point of re-envisioning challenges

and looking at them with intent.

Rest isn’t only a stop, it’s a place on a journey.
An “intermission of labor, mental peace.”
That quiet stance of contemplation,
being in that place, a sentinel, an observant.

Rest, Respite.
Restore, renew.
To look again. To see anew.

Beautiful Arches

Took an afternoon to see Gravity today
at the IMAX and couldn’t resist the scenery.
Movie was  technically+visually spectacular
but I enjoyed  photographing the arches
just as well.

Beautiful Sculpture

Ai Weiwei, one of China’s foremost contemporary artists, has
taken his beautiful Forever Bicycles sculpture to Toronto.
Featuring 3,144 bicycles, the colossal structure is stunning.
Displayed in a night-time festival, it is spectacularly lit up
with pink and blue lights looking as if they are floating.
What a delight.
