SELF-PORTRAIT: WINGS in black and white
"I want to do the right thing, but often I don't know just what the right thing is. Every day I know I have come short of what I would like to have done. Yet as the years pass and I see the very world itself, with its oceans and mountains and plains, as something unfinished, a peculiar little satisfaction hunts out the corners of my heart. Sunsets and evening shadows find me regretful at tasks undone, but sleep and the dawn and the air of the morning touch me with freshening hopes. Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don't worry about my destiny."
--Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)--

This is so beautiful D and I love that your hands are perfectly centered between your wings. This line below is going into my journal, these words are perfection. xo

It's looks like at one point in our evolution we really did have wings?
so gorgeous! the words and beautiful pose .
thanks for stopping by my spot and leaving your words.

Great quote!! I'm going to copy that down. And that photo is so cool -- at first it looks like something the body should not be able to do, but then I tried it and I could. Okay, I almost could.
Such a creative photo! And the poem is one of my favourites, from high school (we memorized it). Lovely post, Delia. xo
What a stunning picture!
Who took it?
And the words...Love them.
