Sunray Flowers
I couldn’t help it. I went to Riverside today. Granted, half my classes were cancelled today, but I could have been doing more productive things. Like this blog. But I really needed my Vitamin D after a rough midterms week.
I didn’t mind thinking with the sun in my eyes today. It was like looking ahead to brighter plans. Every minute closer I get to stepping into Nicaragua, I get more and more excited.
Listening has always come easy to me. From childhood, I would listen to others and respond with only what I thought was important to say. That’s why I’m ready to meet these people, with their different world view and culture shaping everything they want to say. I’m ready to listen to the stories people are dying to tell. I want to hear what is important to these people.
I want to capture their personality in photo as well as in words. You can see so much in someone’s eyes, body language and smile. I’m ready to look at a photo and see the emotion pouring out of every glance. There’s something about a photo that can give me goosebumps and inspire me to pursue the beauty in everything.
The sun is shining. What more can I ask for today? May the sun shine on Nicaragua.
