Beauty Perspective - Missoula, Montana

May you recapture “perspective for these riches“ for today.

 “And so it is that most people have no idea how beautiful the world is and how much magnificence is revealed in the tiniest things, in some flower, in a stone, in tree bark, or in a birch leaf. The grown-ups, going about their business and worries, and tormenting themselves with all kinds of details, gradually lose the perspective for these riches that children, when they are attentive and good, soon notice and love with their whole heart…“ - Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), letter to Helmut Westhoff, Nov. 12, 1901 in: Briefe, p. 31

Leaf Retrospective - Missoula, Montana

I liked this little leaf so much, I noodled around with black & white possibilities - which turned out well enough that I wanted to share this alternate view, plus a keen thought on creative perspective.

"Writing has laws of perspective,

 of light and shade just as painting does,

 or music. 

If you are born knowing them, fine. 

If not, learn them. 

Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.”

-Truman Capote (1924-1984)
