Up: [[Zen Camera]] Created: 2023-07-16 Note: ZC4 - Awareness had too much personal content so it's not in this vault. __________________ Last week I got caught on the hook of being/doing, Zen/Jungian, what do I want, what do I want? Thanks to J’s thoughtful and reassuring response to my perseverating and now thanks to my *fourth* reread of Chapter 2, I’ve got a new frame that gives my way forward a lot more clarity. [[Flow in Photography Requires Skill Development]] I’m glad you’re good with taking our time on this stroll through *Zen Camera*, J. I’m learning so much about myself and about you. As I learn more about my camera, everything will deepen. By the way, I love your plan of action and laughed out loud at point four. I’ve got two images to share today, both of them discovered on my walks and both central to my self-portrait. The [[Spiral]] has always been a core symbol for me. Spirals are really prevalent in the Celtic tradition and that’s part of the appeal, but the core for me is their psychological meaning. It’s the idea that even though we might feel that we’re going in circles through the same kinds of issues over and over again, each time we make the loop we’re actually a bit deeper, a bit closer to centre where our true Self resides. #Photo ![[Commercial spiral in neighbourhood.webp|400]] #Photo ![[Spiral someone made in the dirt by the river.webp|400]]
