The Rest of the Story

Playing with digital photos, it's occurred to me how much fun it is to find a focus and crop out the rest of the picture -- or, as with our lives, the rest of the story. Although I have to admit, good and bad, I want all of the story much as parts of it may pain me. It keeps me whole. Of course, I can blithely write this on a day when all is right with my world.

I have a bunch of old and new friends coming over for our inaugural group adventure -- creating a women's circle, something I've envisioned for at least two years, perhaps longer. And now it's finally here, after many fits and starts. Can't wait -- it is so difficult to come by community in the real world these days, let alone a virtual one. So today, I leave you with the rest of the Abbey picture. There will be other days for contemplation again but today is not one of them for me.
