Monochrome Monday

in #monochromemonday5 years ago (edited)

When everything in the world seems to stand still, let it. Let it be. If only for a moment in time.


Being still does not mean don't move. It means move in peace― E'yen A. Gardner



I like black and white. You know, the questions that are either right or wrong. So simple, it is foolproof. Right or wrong. Yes or no. Bad choice, good choice. It seems like every day, someone I know is faced with situations and circumstances that are not always so clear-cut. I live an excessive amount of time – not in the kingdom of black and white, but in the land of possibilities, painted in varying shades of gray, causing "much ado about nothing" for my brain. My mind sees the contradiction that my heart does not feel. My heart tends to lean into the gray areas and park. For a moment.


Sometimes a little longer than that.



It's funny, but, I have done the fountain before, so yes, it is a recycled kind of photo. But, there are photos that seem to beg to be posted again, in a different way, for a different reason. This fountain, three-dimensional piece of art, is in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, the historical part of the city that still reflects its colonial background. It is the Raíces Fountain, located on the Paseo de la Princesa. It represents the different races that make up the Puerto Rican culture, blending them into today. The silhouettes are dramatic and catch my eye and my breath every time I see it.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.

Great to see you in the tag! I love the shallow focus on the flower.

Black and white in the matter of life ends up being a false dichotomy. Life is lived in and among the grays.

It's always great to be able to find something worthy of being in the tag, especially when flowers seem to be one of your go-to choices. :)

Life is lived in and among the grays It's never just black and white, is it? Life might be simpler if it was.

Yes! Just like returning to the art museum or re-watching a classic film, inspiration can strike you no matter how many times you look at something! Thank you so much for sharing that sentiment and your gorgeous fountain photo:)

Awww! You are the sweetest thing, ever! Thank you so much for your always positive comments and love!

You can feel those last little flowers quivering as they are about to let go and return to the earth. The quote by E'yen A. Gardner is perfect. Absolutely beautiful Denise.

Loved your own writing too.

I live an excessive amount of time – not in the kingdom of black and white, but in the land of possibilities.

And it's just the right time of day for me to have some of your beautiful berries with my breakfast. Thank you. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
