Trying Again.

about the photograph.
We are just beginning to "try again". No small feat of optimism and bravery 6 months after loss, 3 months after turning 43 with no other children. I was lying in bed the other day in a hopefully conception boosting shoulder stand when I noticed the way the light coming through the window seemed to be a ball of light, almost of energy, right between my legs (the center of the body is home to the "conception vessel" in Chinese medical energy pathways) and I snapped a photo. "Signs" like that help me feel like I'm on the right path. -Ceil

This can be interpreted so many ways. Wow. Yeah I'd take that as a sign too. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck - hope this is your sign!
ReplyDeleteCeil, I really love your work.
ReplyDeleteHoping with you.
I simply love this.
ReplyDeleteI love this, it's something that I ever expected to see. I am wondering how you managed to photograph while holding a shoulder stand steadily. I hope you are on the right path too and your bravery is rewarded ASAP.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I remember doing just that and begging gravity to work. I so hope it works for you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you won the giveaway at my blog (http://www.landofbrokenhearts.blogspot.com) for the book They Were Still Born--I announced it but maybe you didn't see, and I didn't have another way to contact you. Shoot me an e-mail at virginiawilliams (at) yahoo (dot) com with your mailing address and I'll get it out to you.
What an incredible shot, and yes I think we've all done this same pose. Just amazing.

I've postponed commenting because I can't seem to find the words for this piece. It touches me and is powerful. Expressive and vulnerable. Excellent portrayal of the..... this is where I get stuck... invasiveness of TTC again? the vulnerability? Anyway, I love it and thanks for sharing.
