The Best Is In Front Of Me

 

"For a time I rest In the grace of the world and am free

— Wendall Berry

This meditative project came when I was confronted with the potential death of my husband. I found myself in a liminal space of distracting thoughts which were pulling my life out of focus, as fear played tug of war with hope ( he healed over time). Despite my circumstances, I learned to embrace the present moment to bring my life back in focus. We are always IN the present moment, but seldom FOCUSED on it,” stated James Clear. Water canons, that irrigate the grass, came on as I walked across the pasture. I recognized the cascading water as the compelling photograph instead of the more obvious Rocky Mountain landscape—thus Proving The Best Is In Front Of Me. Seeing the blurred landscape paralleled my own sense of life out of focus.
