Six thousand images in 14 days

That's more pictures than I've taken in a lifetime and it's taxing my ability to keep up with the tossing and sorting and cataloging. I'm having trouble getting out of the tourist mode of snapping everything that moves. With the rapid fire this new camera is capable of (a wonderful feature in its place) I can easily end up with 10 or 20 copies of an image I won't end up keeping. Like number 6,000 above - a poor image in a sequence of poor images. The Cranes flew and I got 'em by gorry! Phew...

To Remember Safely

The trick is not to forget, but to remember safely. Oh no, I know I cannot walk on the old pathways - use the old patterns to cut new dresses - but I must not forget them, or the experiences that gave rise to them. I am what I am, with the views I have, with the desires and skills and talents that I may possess, because of what I have been. I know what I know because I have lived what I have lived. To have any sort of wisdom without paying for the acquisition of it is not possible.
