Sometimes the big picture is elusive

big picture, infinity, thanksgiving

Sometimes the big picture is elusive because of all the distractions before us. (Sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees.) On the other hand, if infinity spreads outward to the stars and also inward into the smallest atoms of these trees, then the big picture doesn’t matter. It’s all a big picture.

An infinite universe exists in the bark of these trees, in our bodies, and in outer space. We can start anywhere. It doesn’t matter if we see the trees in the forest, or the forest within the trees.

This photo was taken on our annual family Thanksgiving walk at First Lake in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia. A chance to do some forest bathing. I’m so grateful to be alive for this brief time on earth, and grateful for a wonderful family.

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!  (Day 9 of 31)

I hope your day is peaceful.

Here are twenty photos to consider taking today.

  1. A picture of something in everyday life that you’re thankful for.
  2. The turkey, all done but still in the oven.
  3. A pile of shoes by the door, to remember who was gathered together.
  4. A photo of everyone around the table.
  5. The hands of someone you love.
  6. An animal’s eyes.
  7. What you’re wearing.
  8. Dessert.
  9. The view from your bedroom window.
  10. A mirror self-portrait with loved ones.
  11. Light on leaves.
  12. Someone performing a task and laughing.
  13. A musical moment.
  14. A mantelpiece or shelf of family treasures.
  15. The book you’re reading.
  16. A wall hung with old family photos.
  17. Your back door.
  18. Birds in the sky.
  19. Lighted windows at twilight.
  20. A goodbye kiss.

Whether you’re with family, with friends, at work, or at home alone, I wish you a day with some moments of gladness, good memories, and hope for the future.
