The pink blossoms of this tree against the dark green background reminded the other day me of Japanese paintings of cherry blossoms that I’ve seen. The contrast between light and dark, the bright pink against the darker background, the hint of blue sky above together struck me as a sign of how all things are connected, part of a larger pattern or design that’s not always visible to us, except in moments like this when we’re given the chance to see the unity and harmony of all things. #pinkblossoms #contrast #colorandshadow #brightanddark #hintofblue #morningwalk #sarasota #sarasotaflorida #sarasota_florida #florida #floweringtree https://www.instagram.com/p/B8guKgOnlIB/?igshid=wbhcwvu56buw

I had bad period cramps today, so I’ve been practicing more persistence and focus today, breathing through the pain. /// Uncovered another photo from PITCH, an outdoor performance practice created by Dora Gaskill @aliveryspecter .
