When things seem bleak
A very simple guide. A meditation in words and photos By Todd Vogel
There is a world out there you can choose what to focus on.
None of this is new. Much you already know.
Three parts to this :
Find a connection
Re-establish wonder
Look for the joy
This book has lots of pictures. They too are a part of your world
Finding a connection I Sometimes it is dark sometimes we wish to retreat sometimes beauty gets forgotten.
Finding a connection. II Yet somehow, even though the threads may be thin everything is linked even if it takes some looking for there is beauty.
Finding a connection III Look, don’t overlook.
Re establish wonder I
Often the simplest things are the ones which elude us
Re establish wonder II sometimes it’s as easy as taking off the tinted glasses through which we view the world
Re establish wonder III. explanations, definitions, identification and understanding can wait
Take a deep breath. look around you Turn the page.
Look for the joy I Embrace the light, according to some it was the first thing God made. Your beliefs may differ, but light is still a wonderful thing.
Look for the joy II In the grand scheme of things we are related to every living thing this is your long lost cousin
Look for the joy. III Just for this moment take comfort in the beauty which surrounds you.
