That moment of being there, staring at the fire, warming my skin with my dog lying at my feet.
Nothing mattered except the Now.

TP 120: Savour
For Carmi's Thematic Photographic this week, as ever my mind has gone off at a different tangent...
As I sat in front of the woodburner the other evening, I became aware that I had no interest in the future, or the past - I was savouring the moment.
That moment of being there, staring at the fire, warming my skin with my dog lying at my feet.
Nothing mattered except the Now.

I find fire comforting and hypnotic. Staring into the flames it opens my eyes inward.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the theme one of the thoughts that ran through my head was a fireplace, but I neither had such a shot or the means to make one at the moment. I'm glad you did, it just fits.
I believe that that is the best way to live ones life...in the now.
ReplyDeleteLove it!... We all should savour the moment...love the sepia and pattern of the fireplace grate ( is that the right word?)
ReplyDeleteI find that I don't do it enough; I spend too much time thinking of the future or mulling over the past.
ReplyDeleteKBF: It's the door pattern,

What a wonderful photo....and what a sensory one. It warmed me, even.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the NOW would serve me well....I needed the reminder, so thank you.
i savour your picture, it looks so comforting
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and so evocative.
ReplyDeleteI wish we still used our woodburner; staring into the heat pump doesn't have the same effect ;)
I actually thought this was windows in a church on a foggy night for a moment there....
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing photo.
