Boundaries of Perception #polarity #unity

On By Alethea KehasIn Reflections
A dry summer and fall has led to a low water levels, revealing the path of the mountain stream on its journey to the lake.

These days I find myself drawn to the boarder lands. I walk along the coastline of lakes and rivers searching for connection amidst separation.

The detritus of oak leaves collects in the shifting boundary between water and land.

I study the blurring of water, sky, and land where there is the perception of a stark contrast. A boundary of colored light or the density of collected molecules creates the ruse for the eyes, begging them to find the line of separation.

Light plays with reflection and color, creating false boundaries for the eyes to decipher.

It is here where I see the melding of elements.

I am stilled by the rhythmic lap of water, wetting the drying earth.

I pause to watch the sky pour down color into the shadowed lands and am reminded of hope. How something that may seem heavy is really weightless.

The blending of elements
