Just say it!

Synchronicity - if any of you have faithfully followed my blog, you know I'm a believer of this phenomenon.  Things happen, things sync together for reason(s) that we may not, may never, be aware of, and yet if we pay close enough attention, we can recognize moments of synchronicity.  Today, I had one of those moments.  In some of my photography aspects, there was one I was about to give up on, feeling as if no one understands the whats and whys of what I do. 

Today, I received a terrific note from someone who told me I was on his mind, that my work spoke to him,  "...that desire to take what you see inside of yourself, and let that out for the World to see. The almost 'need' to tap into what you see, and what you want the World to see, and understand about you, and the excitement of sharing that the best way you can."  Talking about his own photography, he went on to say "...in your works, I see that as well. A rawness, seeking light, and an emotion seeking release. I just want to take a moment and applaud your work my Friend, and to tell you, that I think I see what you are trying to say."


Which brings me to my point:  How many of us think things but never say them aloud to the person we should be saying them to?  We may never know the heart or mind of them, nor the struggles they might be going through.  Your thoughts may be just the synchronicity someone else is needing to hear.  Why do we feel the need to hide our thoughts, to censor any of the good things we could be sharing?  Life is better when we build each other up, help each other through the rough times.  So I challenge all of you to take a minute and tell someone you're thinking of them, tell someone what a great job they're doing, tell someone you appreciate something they've done.   You'll feel better for it, and you might just make someone else's day much brighter!
