yi-ching lin photography 
it is always
easier to bookmark
your heart when
the story is still
very much
alive.
with just twelve
days under
my belt, i am
still walking into
each day, stunned,
as if it were an
unmarked chapter
folding me in
as i fumble
my way out,
storyless
.

keep on walking ‘out’
My son aka ‘god’ says this is a VERY nice photo! I concur. Love its elegant simplicity. namaste
i love your simple command: “keep on walking ‘out.'” thank you! mom has been wondering where you’ve gone (smile).
All the best to mom–just been way busy with other things–like getting daughter on her way to Korea via Chicago then digging in the U of Iowa’s Special Collections Keith Albee Vaudeville holdings.

What a beautiful photo.
thank you…again, right place, right time (to catch the sky at that amazing color).
Beautiful! I feel humbled and invigorated at the same time, thank you for sharing your words.
thank YOU for coming by. i thought about how we often “bookmark” our hearts when someone is still with us, like taking people for granted in a casual sense. i’m glad you are invigorated.
I imagine laying there looking up and listening to the quiet. Beautiful poem. Beautiful photo.
nice imagery…relaxing (smile). thank you.
so beautiful, the soft tones in the background. the crop makes this a nice header-type photo. would love to see a taller crop.
thank you for visiting again. what do you mean by “taller crop?”
obviously it depends on whether you’ve cropped this in the first place, but it just feels a little constrained to me – like there is a better story to be seen with if you get more of the lower part of the plants. alternatively, i think you could have a really elegant photo with a portrait crap of just the two branches on the right, focusing more on the tall, graceful stalk.
in any case, you already have a very nice photo, so i’m definitely being very picky.
i like picky, and i know what you mean. thank you so much.
