Nice and Simple

Sometimes, looking at a photo sends me through this swirl of "feeling".

As in, as long as I keep looking at this photo, my atmosphere is as the photo "feels".

Certain photos can awaken the peace in me. Music can do this too.

Once I've seen this photo, or listened to this song, or experienced both together my world becomes calm and peaceful (and for some reason I think about the colors white and creme a lot).

I just feel happy and content.

Here are a few of those photos.

Music?

Sigur Ros, of course. Well, or Jonsi.

These types of photos make me want to do things like:

go on a walk and just marvel at whatever is around me

clean my room

organize things

close my eyes and feel a breeze

get rid of most of my clothes and replace them with well made items that I will wear forever

drink water

eat an apple

bake

journal

arrange a bunch of peonies

read a book on a blanket in the sunshine

put on lotion that smells divine

create

write

pray to and worship the God that created this world (see picture 1)

look out a window at rain

buy the perfect nude lipstick

take my film camera out on an adventure (develop it too)

wear button downs

get a pair of perfect fitting jeans

simplify, simplify, simplify

They always remind me that it's the small things that matter in life.

It's so neat how a single picture can do that.

But they do.

At least for me they do.
