'The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you---
don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want--
don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill,
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open--
don't go back to sleep.'
`mevlana jelaluddin rumi`

strong yet tender urgings "don't go back to sleep". Your photos are a perfect connection to the words...especially the opened door!
ReplyDeleteThat first sky photo is marvelous! (I'll have to admit with the dark skies and rain on the skylights, I did go back to sleep this morning!)

ReplyDelete..wonderful photographs and a great quote for springtime.
The colors in the sky and the open door are so inviting ...
ReplyDeletethe feeling here is something quiet soft and magical..i am not going back to sleep for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Willow...I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep, thinking that I would not oversleep. I'll never do that again! I was almost late for work and it has been a really slow, tired day.
ReplyDeleteThose shots capture luminosity perfectly....and those beautiful words from Rumi...so soothing to the soul....
