Dichotomy

I stand on a bridge overlooking Cherry Creek. To the west, the water is calm and to the east it is turbulent. Slowly, I turn my gaze from one direction to the other. I have these waters inside myself. They are both productive and necessary for the Life I live.

    I love the way you caught the duck about to land. We do need both the turbulence and the calm - but I need to learn to create more calm.

    I agree..we do need both. I never thought that way when I was younger.
    Grateful that I can see this now. Thanks for the reminder.

    So true, Barb *
    I feel both inside of me too...
    ...the calm and roaring!

    I was going to remark on the beauty of the top image -- and then the duck scrolled into view..hilarious. Love it when stuff like that happens!

    Hello, Barb.
    The duck landing to the water really catches my eyes! How cute the duck is! Lovely shot!!

    I agree with you,Barb. We need both sides in our lives.

    I love this photo: a duck in a breeze stirring the water reflecting the blue skies.

    I agree, and maybe more productivity comes from turbulence.

    Barb, nice shot of the mallard! I appreciate the comments you made on my blog. I will have to check out the meme you mentioned.

    Great shot of the duck landing - and I agree, the great outdoors we so admire is also in us. Nice observation.
