“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.” ~ Hermann Hesse
I had the most inspiring lunch today with my friend Gail Kennedy. She wanted to show her appreciation for my photographing the Men of Note concert a few weeks ago, so off to lunch at the Julip Cup we went (best carrot cake ever). Better than the food, though, was our talk. We had the best conversation. I am hard pressed to think of someone as positive as Gail – even about things that would be utter devastation to most. I came away feeling energized and so blessed to have the chance to get to know her. I didn’t have my camera with me, and I forgot to pop off an iPhone shot, so I thought I’d use these tulip photos. They’re very Georgia O’Keefe, especially the white one, and since Gail was the Fine Arts Librarian for many years it’s only fitting they stand in for her.
