I believe that photographs take us beyond what is visible. That’s why when I take photos or look at them, I imagine things in my mind. For example, when I took this photo, I thought, “Which emotions are loaded in this shopping bag? Who knows how many meetings or relationships we start by carrying these? The burden is borne by guilt, regret, fear, and self-criticism.”
I have a favorite author named Bonnie Badenoch, and in her book, she says:
“We need to move away from the perspective of our analytical and judgmental left hemisphere of the brain and allow the right hemisphere to lead the processes because that’s when we become more curious and accepting.”
*For those who want to read the book: Bonnie Badenoch, The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships
Let’s have a day where we experience and continue the lightness of accepting our emotions instead of judging them.
