365 Photo Journey – A Picture a Day for a Year

Take a picture a day for an entire year. Apparently, this is a thing. Consider it a challenge, a journal, or a journey (I prefer journey). Take a picture a day and post it to your blog. Here are some reasons why you should try it, too.

The 2023 Photo Journey

November 18th through November 27th

I am a little behind on my photo journey. I have a boatload of pictures to go through, so I have plenty of material. I’m starting to learn a new workflow with DXO Photolab 7 and DXO PureRaw 3.

At any rate, here is a little miscellany to get you started. More to come very soon.

Enjoy!

A Poem a Week

Thoughts on a Sunday Afternoon

Light

We may compare ourselves to a man groping in the dark for a switch that will turn on the light of his own being.

Advertisement

I saw a delivery truck that said on its side, by way of advertisement, “What you want is in here.” 
I thought that that is the predicament of man in relation to Truth. 

Land

Men fight all their lives for scraps of land. Boundaries shift ten feet here, ten feet there. And then they die and discover that the land for which they should all along have been striving has been taken from them. 


ABOUT A POEM A WEEK

Each week, to keep the creative juices flowing, I will write a poem. It will probably be a draft and require some additional love, so please be forgiving. I invite you to join me on this journey. I will try to publish something every Monday.


It’s the 1st week of 2024

Fun fact: January 7th is Christmas!
On the coptic calendar, that is. In 2003, Egypt, which is a mostly muslim country, recognized coptic Christmas as a national holiday, to recognize the legitimacy of its coptic christians, which represent about 10% of the population. See? We can all get along.

A Poem a Week

My Practice

This is not a poem per se, but something I wrote and recite to myself during my meditation practice.

(Before Starting)

May my commitment to this practice be honest and true.
May my practice nourish my soul.
May my practice bring me peace.
May my practice be a light to others.

(After Finishing)

My commitment to this practice was honest and true.
My practice nourished my soul.
My practice brought me peace.
May my practice be a light to others.

It’s the 52nd week of 2023.

Fun fact: On December 31, 1600, The East India Company was formed. It was a British company created for the commercial exploitation of India and Southeast Asia.

If you want to learn about the East India Company, I’d strongly suggest checking out the Empire podcast. It’s a hoot!

Buddhist Haiku: The Carapace of Thought Removed

Four words are written.
Add five to the aforesaid.
Thirteen in sum. Done.

It’s the 45th week of 2023.

Fun fact: On the 11th of November, 1918, an armistice was signed marking the end of World War 1. It is commemorated in the Commonwealth as Remembrance Day, and in the United States as Veterans Day (it was originally called Armistice Day but was renamed in 1954).
