Everything looks more like itself

“The passage into mystery always refreshes. If, when we work, we can look once a day upon the face of mystery, then our labor satisfies. We are lightened when our gifts rise from pools we cannot fathom. Then we know they are not a solitary egotism and they are inexhaustible.”

—Lewis Hyde, The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World, (Vintage Books, New York, 2007) p. 25

(quoted from Parabola)

Everything looks different and more like itself with my new camera, a Canon PowerShot ELPH 115 IS.

Ceremony / To Try To Have Some Healing

Listen to the entire story.  It takes some time.

"Great Spirit, Great Mystery, the things which are thine are powerful and numerous."
(song from "Dakota 38")

Silar Hagerty:  With Smooth Feather Productions, when we decided to give these films away, no strings attached, when we made that shift, it did feel like in some way the universe supported that.

Silas Hagerty:  For me, the word ceremony means calling in help from something greater than yourself.
