It also makes me think of how, when we have visited, lived or interacted in some way with a place, it lingers in our consciousness which 'grows' because of this, and yes, maybe that is a kind of completion of our 'small selves'.<br /><br />An interesting idea, forest dream weaver, that you heard on the radio. It seems to me, when I'm writing about a place I have been, that what I've seen is retained in some place beyond the small amount of surface memory we use when going about our daily lives. And when I write, I can access a larger visual memory, which I had 'forgotten' when I sat down to write. Maybe everything we've experience is retained somewhere.<br />Glad you liked the snowy branch, it did look rather stunning!<br />M xxdritanjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025213970107184429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365414187774298547.post-50485288986611018962013-01-24T15:10:30.043+01:002013-01-24T15:10:30.043+01:00Today, on the radio I heard a writer say, "we...Today, on the radio I heard a writer say, "we come first to writing with our eyes".Hadn't thought of it like that but it seems that's what you are doing.<br />Your snow is so so beautiful.I love to see the river winding away....and the snow laden branches are gorgeous!<br />RubyxxForest Dream Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392409469020504212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365414187774298547.post-91144834179292144722013-01-24T08:31:35.653+01:002013-01-24T08:31:35.653+01:00A lovely walk, dritanje.

Witnessing nature like this, observing it as closely as we can, feeling it, writing about it, drawing it, photographing it, celebrating it — by doing these things we pull it into ourselves, don't we, become a part of it in some small way. It helps us complete our own small selves. The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.com
