I love both pictures, each for a slightly different reason: the first suggests peace and serenity as the path of life is traveled and goals are reached, the second shows challenge and hardship that exists as heights are realized.
Ah, but which to choose as a favorite? An impossible choice because they portray the yin and yang of life.
I'm reminded of Thoreau's words (in Walden), "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
A single step albeit only one has the power to move heaven and earth. And you, my love, have the insight and understanding to move my heart and very soul.
Thank you for these beautiful pictures. They give meaning to the words, "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

You see it, and I am grateful beyond words.
And everyone is beautiful.
Especially you. . . .
Could I ask for more? I don't believe so. ♥
