FOG by E. Peter Jacobs

FOG

can’t see

FOG

is rain that hasn’t made a decision.

FOG

is air that’s overflowing with juice.

FOG

is a cloud that yearns for connection.

FOG

is nourishment where there is little rain.

FOG

is a message to slow, to probe

FOG

envelopes us, holds us.

FOG

can see so much.

JUST by Melinda Urban

Just be

I’ve been told

Just play

I’ve been told

Just celebrate

I’ve been told

Just let go

I’ve been told

Just trust

I’ve been told

Just laugh

I’ve been told

            …it’s not just

Caffree - fiber / mixed media, 12”  by Amy Egenberger

(poem follows)

Free of vices clamp, compulsion

Should’s and would’s carried away

Old patterns reframe, no one to blame

Human uniqueness understood

Voices ring resonates

Unfurls whisper shout

Dance springs from the heart

Real me finally out

"Taking Flight" - Cloud study  by E. Peter Jacobs

An angel?  A bird?  A cloud?

Different people see different things in this image.  "That's the gift of photography," says Peter Jacobs.  "The ability to capture a different way of seeing something familiar.  And to know that others will see it differently still."

Peter  works in 35mm and digital, and has taken photographs all across North America.  A sampling of his photographs can be viewed at www.jacobslightart.com.
