We are naturally inquisitive as human beings and from an early age we want to know and understand. Perhaps we never really reach a conclusion, and to be honest, that suits me.

The photgraph was taken during a visit to Hauxley Nature Reserve, last year. The word that comes to mind is, passing. Time was passing as I took the photograph. The light passing though th grasses, speaking of latent hope for the future in the seedheads.
You and I passing through our existence, in this moment. Taking care to live in the moment, which moves on all too quickly.
May you know the blessing of ‘Something Understood’.
