The Camera Spectacles Meditation

<p style="text-align:center;">"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity," - Albert Einstein</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">This meditation is an exercise & reminder that the best images come from having your camera on you when you head out.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">It is also an activity that allows you to discern the difference between how you experience and engage with nature with your camera and without it.</p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">In many years of experience with this, I have discovered that we tend to</p> <p style="text-align:center;">engage on a vastly deeper level holding our camera, as opposed to just heading out without it.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">"Thich Nhat Hanh says, "With Each Peaceful Step, All Beings Near and Far Will Benefit."</p> <p>To Summarize the Intent of this Walking Photo Meditation:</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Observe the difference between your engagement with the natural world and your sharpness of observation while carrying your camera versus a walk or stroll out the door without a camera. Both are beneficial, yet I find the camera to be a doorway into a creative conversation of details, color, & light and co-creating images with the earth. Adding breath work with counting and growing mindful of your pace is another layer to hone your presence & consciousness skills.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">"Four things come not back: The spoken word, The sped arrow, The past life, The neglected opportunity." Arabian Proverb</p>
