One Hour on a Night of Clarity

So far it's been a cautious year. I never really got off to a great start in 2008. We remembered my uncle's life to begin the new year. A week later I hurt my foot while running. I am struggling with that until today and have learned to wait a little longer before I get back to real running again. I have also had some camera trouble. I have had sporadic aperture and auto focus problem with my DSLR. The point and shoot is basically unusable because the zoom and other buttons do not function. With no extra cash around to fix either I have dealt with the camera problems day to day. With my sore ankle I have just told myself I have to wait a little longer for it to heal. Feels like being in transition. Waiting for the next phase. This winter has been the longest in my memory. All this waiting is kind of represented in these long exposures. Just waiting for the results to come out. Even when it comes out of the camera, there is more processing, more time, more patience.

I suppose the message I have been given is to take one day at a time. Be patient. Seek clarity of thought. It was while processing these long exposures that something flickred through the darkness of thought; I need to be careful and tolerant of the uncertainty that has defined this winter season.

What does all of this mean?
