Lady In Red

On the Dependent Co-Arising blog, Saturday's task was to collect 10 things in succession and capture them in photos, pictures, etc.  Since I am a collector of images, I captured 10 images of this girl who was waiting for the train at the Lake St Red Line Station.  First of all, I loved her vintagesque brown leather bomber style hat.  Second, you can't go wrong with a red coat in my book.  And third--possibly my favorite--she was listening to her tunes on a DISCMAN.  That totally rocks in my book.

You can see all 10 images over here if you'd like.

Breathe

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH, 2008: Be mindful toward your breath,
“Breathing in, I calm myself. Breathing out, I smile.”

Early afternoon at home and in bed with Cadence, listening to the soundtrack of countless naptimes and bedtimes.  Big Star...Jeff Tweedy...Sam Beam...Rachel Goswell...And as is usually the case, even an hyperenergetic preschooler like Cadence is no match for the magically sleepy rhythm of Mojave 3's "Love Songs On the Radio."  And now I listen to her breathe, so perfectly true to her name, in and out, in and out.  And just for a moment, I join in.  Breathing in, I calm myself.  Breathing out, I smile.  Breathing in, I calm myself.  Breathing out, I smile.

This is my contribution to Dependent Co-Arising for today, Wednesday November 12th.
