Possiblities

Possibilities: Potentiality for favorable or interesting results

"I dwell in possibility..." Emily Dickinson

Self Portrait August 2011


"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."
Emily Dickinson

"We never know how high we are till we are called to rise. Then if we are true to form our statures touch the skies."
Emily Dickinson

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all."
Emily Dickinson


 I usually hate taking photos of myself.  My preference is to position myself behind the camera but then I found this silly photo I took two weeks ago and I just thought I'd have fun playing around with it.

I wanted to see what I would discover about myself.  While I edited I couldn't get this Emily Dickinson quote out of my head. More specifically the word 'possibilities'.

I'm not sure I learned anything except I know myself better today than I did yesterday.

Have you ever reflected about who you are?

I love the way that you've worked with this photo; the colourful one is really striking as each colour seems to pull something different out from your face.

I'm constantly reflecting on myself and how to develop. I think that the internet opens us all up to so many lives and so many possibilities; there's just so much inspiration out there.
