Tyler Shields, Train Tracks, 2013

I was super late at work this morning because of the usual signal problems on the rails, and because I could let my manager knows, the carriage was spacious, my agenda free and I had actually no control on it, I felt super calm about it and also relieved that I have now a job where I don’t have to login at a specific time on order to be operational! (people who worked in call centre-like will understand!)

So, I found this beautiful photograph of Taylor Shields to illustrate my mood of this moment.

I love everything in this picture: the movement of character in the centre who is almost flying (or maybe falling badly!), the black and white, the perspective (I adore open-road images and the sense of freedom it gives!), and gosh, what an energy!

Breath in, breath out and let’s meditate with Keira Kotler

After the stress of this day, I wanted to share the delightful Meditation Serie of Keira Kotler.

I LOVE her photographs.

She succeed to abandon completely the object and to magnify instead the simple but always variable connexion between colours and light, thanks to a brilliant out of focus.

And this is exactly what meditation is (at least for me!): peacefully releasing the focus we have in our mind on our daily struggles (work, love life, health, family…) and simply being, empty our head a little and enjoying our present and space for what it is.

If you are new to meditation, I would advise this following app here  . Free and simple, its big advantage is the person talking do not have an annoying voice like many other ‘guide’ !

Namaste! 🙂
