Lens-Artists Challenge #402 | Looking Back at #1 Wonder

This week Sofia introduces the Lens-Artists Challenge with the topic of “Wonder“. Please do check out her post, she has some beautiful photos, I really like the Japan ones, the colours draw me in, as well as nature.

Wonder functions as both a verb and a noun, representing the capacity for curiosity or the feeling of awe inspired by something extraordinary. It bridges the gap between inquisitiveness and astonishment

When I saw this weeks theme earlier today, I knew one of the photos had to be of the lavender I snagged on Saturday while in between our cousins wedding and reception.

This photo made me think of how a couple is to stand on their wedding day, strong, in solitude, those all around them, but standing tall on their own. I just adore the sun rays shining down as well.

The wonder and beauty of macro images, truly incredible!

The way the macro lens can select and focus on one thing, bringing it into your vision and sight line. In the big picture of life, this is the only thing you need to think of and focus on. Allow yourself to do that. Let it be ok to do that, even amongst all that is in the background.

Sometimes it feels like you may get lost in the crowd.

Always remember your value and beauty there. In the wonder of it all, you truly are one of a kind. Your heart and soul matters. Your health matters. Always.

Quite honestly, my biggest wonder of the world is when this patriarcial medical system is going to collapse and be rebuilt as it should be – patient focused with compassion, calm, collaboration among all holistic avenues for the best of the human.

For far too often, you get lost in the crowd – pushed and pulled by someone else’s opinion. Our own worth being muddled by an opinion outside of ourselves. Where does this make sense, how can someone truly heal? Enough of the ‘old’ way things are done. Where patients put their full trust in a doctor – someone outside of you who cannot feel or heal within you. Where someone makes the decisions for you and you follow along.

I truly have a deep wondering desire to know why someone would need to fight for their health, have to yell to be heard or seen and question why they wont believe you. A true wonderment of the world processes…

After a very disappointing specialist appointment for our daughter on Friday we were hit with a Dr we had waited almost a month to see… tells us at the appointment he doesn’t do this surgery any longer and completely minimized the fact that its a Cancer diagnosis. This is fueling my wonderment of not only respect but also ethics in the medical system.

I wonder, where they are!
