Midday Blue (Water) - Hamelin Bay - South West / Western Australia (Thu 10 Oct 2008)
Always take photos of water while I am travelling, no matter what time of the day. This was an incredibly isolated beach with not a person in sight.

For some reason I am drawn to this photo and I have it in my little folder of favourite photos on my PC (along with many others). Love the Blue (and white of the sand and small breaking wave lines) in this photo, along with the lone seagull on the sand in the lower left corner.

The warrior of light views life with tenderness and determination

The warrior of light views life with tenderness and determination.

He stands before a mystery, whose solution he will one day find. Every so often, he says to himself:

'This life is absolutely insane.'

He is right. In surrendering to the miracle of the everyday, he notices that he cannot always foresee the consequences of his actions. Sometimes he acts without even knowing that he is doing so, he saves someone without even knowing he is saving them, he suffers without even knowing why he is sad.

Yes, life is insane. But the great wisdom of the warrior lies in choosing his insanity wisely.

From the Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho (more here).
