{my attempt to capture 52 photos that represent trust - my word for 2011}.
i often say that atlas has been my greatest teacher, so i wondered what he might have to say about trust.
here 'tis.
"trust yourself. if you want something, you want it. if you need something, you need it. if you feel something, you feel it. i wish you wouldn't spend so much time questioning and judging and doubting yourself. if you just listened to me, there would be more time for walks. and unless it's pouring or hailing or there is a cat in the house (hint), it is always a good time for a walk."
by the way, if you'd like to receive wisdom from atlas in your mailbox, there's still a bit of time to sign up for his postcards.
YES! atlas you have hit the nail square on my boy.
i would be reading. zeke would simply come and face me with his "time for a walk" look. so calm and friendly like. we walked and walked and walked! sometimes 4 times a day, long ones.
it's what i miss the most now that he's gone. we saw things, smelled things and peed on things. life was good.
no angst. no deep questions. simply nature and love and trust.
it's real life.
love,
tj
