This is New York City in the May sun, and today is Philadelphia suburbs in the threatening-to-rain, but nonetheless (there is a point) the scene is one of collisions. Fashion and sky, church and commerce, sun and shadow, boot and spike, leaf and cotton in the Big Apple. A sudden infusion of corporate work, a smattering of book launch details, an in-progress manuscript, humidity hair, dance videos, unpaid bills, and the boxes of a boy's return to college abounding here, in threatening-to-rain. Last night I was listing all the ways that I had failed in the previous 24-hour period to my husband. He fell asleep before I'd finished the list.
Take a deep breath, I tell myself. And also: Live the day, no matter. And finally: Ask for forgiveness and hope it will be given.

In Phoenix, where I grew up, you had to invent reasons to stay inside! I'm loving this rainy respite--the chance to sort through the rubble of those collisions!
Beth, be kind to yourself...tonight, list all the ways you have succeeded! It will make last night's list seem a little less painful...
Have a wonderful day!
The photograph is wonderful. That's what I see.
I adore that photo -- mixed up reflections.
You're amazing.
Amazing how you captured all those 'collisions' in one picture! I'm sure there were many ways you succeeded too! :-)
