And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
- Anais Nin
One of my favorite quotes from Anais Nin. I've been thinking a lot about blooming lately. All sorts of blooming. The kind that eases yourself into a comfortable love and appreciation of your body. The kind of your soul that frees up that cluttered inner space to make room for more new things to be absorbed. The kind of the heart that finds love in unexpected places and faces. Holding back never helped anyone. To bloom. To explore. To discover. To give a chance. To test your limits and see that there is no such thing as a dead end. Spring time in this little community garden near my sister's apartment was so beautiful on the particular day that I took these photos. Everything was growing upwards, open and free. I couldn't help but get up close and person with every petal, every leaf, every branch. Breathing felt so much easier in this place.

Toast your Purse with an Outfit!
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
E. E. Cummings, 1894 - 1962
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
that is so beautiful. :) Irene Wibowo
Such a great picture, beautiful :)
