There are no traditional details that could inspire the comments, but there is the “Holding Space” that captivates the viewer out of itself. The picture made me speechless.
You portrayed not our handworks, but the air we are breathing in and thus the breath out was not the discussions, but the grateful Thank you.
“Thank you” is the best of all human creations- the gratitude enables us not to fear the “Holding Space” but welcome the life and trust the Spring.

I love the horizontal symmetry of this photo. It really does create an effect of space, of openness, kind of like the way cold air opens up one’s lungs. That’s what I thought of when I saw the photo.

Tomas, trusting that spring will come. I know it’s coming! I passed a neighbor on the street today and asked when she was going to start her garden. She looked at me and said, “What garden, my inside garden? Did you hear we’re supposed to get 8 more inches of snow over the next few days?” Holding the space… 8)
ybonesy, good way to look at it. The lungs opening, the wide spaces between tiny cilia. Is that what they are called? Okay, I’m heading to bed to saw some zzzzzz’s. My lungs are in need of sleep! Hope you have some good Callifornia dreamin’.
