less is more

one of the benefits of my STILL practice is that it can scale up or down depending on my day. today i was busy and distracted. i am teaching several workshops coming up in early october, and i was feeling the need to start prepping ideas and materials. i didn’t even think about making a STILL photo until late afternoon. so, i reached into my bucket of lake superior beach rocks and made this very simple cairn. if i had had more time or energy, i probably would have made it taller, or i would have made several cairns of varying heights. but as i take in this image, i am happy i stopped where i did. i like it’s simplicity. it calms me. it reminds me that sometimes simple is not just enough, it’s just right.
