Sunset at McMurry Natural Area

“It is the duty of the human understanding to understand that there are things which it cannot understand…” 

Søren Kierkegaard

We are a culture that does not want to admit or even think we don’t understand. I’m becoming much more comfortable with setting aside my pride and say, “I don’t understand.” And there are those moments when I must pause and question myself “…what if what I think I think I know, ain’t so.” Then go for a meditative walk with my camera and just take pictures.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I believe “The Serenity Prayer” fits here except exchange the word “understand” for “change.” I can’t comprehend, understand or even be aware of some things, and I have to accept and find peace with that, even if it irritates the heck out of me. 🙂

    What lovely color, light and reflections in this photo, Monte. Nice!

    Sigh. I have enough trouble knowing what I don’t understand. I can’t worry about not knowing what I don’t understand. Beautiful sunset, I know that much.
