Gestalt Prayer

Posted on September 27, 2011 under Poetry. Tags: ,

Andy showed me this poem a while back – it’s one of my favorite pieces of inspiration, and a powerful reminder:

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.

- Fritz Perls, “Gestalt Therapy Verbatim”, 1969

Photo by yours truly. I’m 1/3rd of the way through my goal of doing a daily photo project for a year, hooray! It’s really been fun, something I look forward to every day – check it out here at k8ee.com. Want to start a photoblog like this for yourself? Comment below – I’d like to give away a few blogs, especially if a daily photo project is one of your goals, too. :)

    Thanks! I loved this flower – just the coolest looking thing I’ve seen! :)

    Ah! :) A photoblog is a photography blog. k8ee is actually a WordPress blog like yours, with the AutoFocus theme installed.

    I remember this quote from so many years ago. Your photo makes it so much more memorable.

    How can I photoblog?
