Milestone or Mystery

How did I come this far? Two hundred publications on blip... Two hundred out of three hundred and sixty-five days... Clearly, I cannot manage to show up daily. Free spirit, I have always been. Free spirit in a struggling human body...

Life is mystery. I cannot begin to understand why I chose this photograph for my 200th. I think probably because I took it on Abstract Thursday, and I hadn't published an abstract in a while, and I like doing abstracts. I took this photograph of an extraordinary mushroom on a picnic with my extraordinary daughter, who doesn't really like for me to photograph her. She lives a very public life as a Yoga Instructor, so with Mama she wants to be free to relax. I understand. Perhaps this abstract of a complex and beautiful mushroom is in lieu of my complex and beautiful daughter. The mystery can speak without speaking. I am free to relax and make words, knowing that wordless realities are doing their thing. Communication can happen or not. The message can be received or not. A milestone can be met or not. 

I have posted an extra that is not so mysterious of the mushroom and my daughter, Moira's, feet. It was a lovely picnic.

Thanks to youoregon1 for hosting abstract Thursday
