“What you produce is not necessarily always sacred, I realized, just because you think it’s sacred. What is sacred is the time that you spend working on the project, and what that time does to expand your imagination, and what that expanded imagination does to transform your life.”

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

We wake to rain this morning and it is wonderful. I stand in the light drizzle and take photos of this rose, pausing to just listen to the quietness around me. I pair it here with a couple of photos I took yesterday, staying true to the no rules allowed ruling I put in place when I started this project. She has been a bit fussing, this rose of mine, and I have had to baby her a bit. Her delicate blooms are worth the effort.
