We all see ourselves in images that we can relate to and the more the image resonates the deeper our thoughts will dive into the image.  As in many cases there is no connection and we just move along and discard them from our memory.

In my experience the greater the connection and time spent looking at the image the more we tend to relate our own life and our own story to the image. That is the time when you can loose yourself maybe for a few seconds or minutes if you have a deeper connection it can be much longer.

This is a meditation of sorts  where you step outside your normal surroundings and at a later time appreciate how special the moment.  If we feel nothing and the image does not touch us or move us in any way we will just move along.

As with all art it will depend on the outer and inner experiences at that given moment  to how deeply our senses are effected as to how long that feeling may last. Great art or any profound experience that we encounter will have an effect to a greater or lesser degree depending on the emotion stirred within.

In my experience we can look at the same image at different times in our life and depending on what is happening in our life will determine what we see and feel.

In many ways images are a mirror to our inner thoughts. As with great books or any form of art.

Lets have a little fun, a little personal experiment. That  if you wish can be shared or not;

Have a look at these photographs and meditate on them for a few minutes.

Now take a couple of minutes to scribble down how your feelings and emotions your story within these images.

How do you see the characters and the environment ? Do you see yourself , past present or future….?

Now come back in a few days later, a week or  maybe a month and do the same write for a few  minutes your feelings and inner thoughts.

It will be interesting to see how different you may feel and how deep your connection to the story you created within the images are on a different day and time in your life.

Maybe you have no affinity with these images so go and choose another image or better still let another image discover you.  When you are not prepared, off guard and it just stops you in your tracks.

Where upon you step outside yourself to that place where everything seems to stand still with you, even time.

Keep it to yourself and if you are in a generous mood share it with entrepreneurexpats.com
