Entwined

2008.05.04
“She dotes on poetry, sir. She adores it; I may say that her whole soul and mind are wound up, and entwined with it."
- Charles Dickens

Have you ever wondered what you might be made up of, if you were able to unravel yourself?

We are made up of so many, entwining pieces, and we are sewn intricately together, either by our own design, or that of another.

We are infinitely complex, yet simple at the same time.

And we are connected, each of us, to each other, whether we are aware of it or not.

Can you appreciate yourself for all the things that you are made up of, both good and bad? Is there one thing so entwined within you, that it makes you, you?

mclps This is a great post! We are so connected, that we ourselves are unaware how so or even how much. If I were to be unraveled, you'd probably find a little bit of everyone that has touched my life, including those I've known for a brief time. What has surprised me lately, is how connected I've become to my photoblog friends. I find myself connecting landscapes, scenery or situations to certain friends on this site. It's somewhat comforting. Thanks. :)

aurian You pose an interesting question, which I will think about on the way to work this morning! ;)

yamaleekis Great shot, really nice very abstract.

oldbabe Nice photo to represent intertwining or weave a story.

No, there is no ONE thing that makes me me. And, studying genealogy sure lets me know that we are all connected. And, yes, after all these years I think I finally do appreciate myself. Took a long time though. And it was a struggle.

bamommy Excellent photo and post. We are made up of so much "stuff"! Sometimes it's scary to look at yourself and love yourself for who you are. I think it's a work in progress which could last a lifetime.
bamommy · 2008-05-04: 18:23
ncshutterbug What a wonderful photo, and perfect commentary to go with it. I think my answer to your first question is yes - I accept myself and all of my faults. As far as what's entwined within myself, I'm not sure I can answer that question. If we're talking about my passions in life, that would be my love for my husband, my dogs (and animals in general), and of course, photography.

etodd80 Very nice DOF, makes for an interesting shot with great texture. Great message too!
etodd80 · 2008-05-04: 23:17
the12thdude I think if I took myself apart I would look a lot less attractive than this weeved basket...and someone would have to clean the mess! Argh..Great DOF and great thoughts!

jennye Great photo and post!!
jennye · 2008-05-05: 01:42
Madoc Yes....Even apart, we're all together. Life keeps us as one, united in a way we can't see or understand, just feel...sometimes.

mintra Beautiful.
:)

Amethyst I love that message, that we are all connected. It made me think of a quote I have on my gaia profile:
I am the universe becoming aware of itself. And so are you.

Love the color in this shot... and how the depth of field adds so much softness to an otherwise rough texture.
Amethyst · 2008-05-05: 12:37
mrutherford22 What a neat idea! I love this quote and photo to go with it.
mrutherford22 · 2008-05-05: 15:17
escipio I love both the photo and your text, so I'm faving it. Thank you a lot. <3
escipio · 2008-05-05: 16:18
dhulsmeyer this is wicked good. you're a pretty damn deep thinker.
dhulsmeyer · 2008-05-05: 20:56
photopoet Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman

I am, I think, I mass of contradictions and a person created out of all that was before me, is around me, and remains ahead of me. Every thing I look at, read, every conversation, every experience becomes part of my experience. Then it is shaken up, tossed about and somehow melded together—Only to wait until another experience, another book, another person adds to the layers.

Yes, we all, I believe, are links one to another—even to the one we don't yet know or will never know. How can I be human without accepting that all things are connected.

I like this:

If I am not for myself who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I?

mahdisafarali nice shots :) and hard things to answer, i think people get to the point in which they appreciate what they r :)
mahdisafarali · 2008-05-07: 01:57
jagungal I said on an earlier post of yours that you were a verbal and visual poet — but I see that you are also a philosopher! I'm all for both poetry and philosophy — the world badly needs more of both! Thanks for your post.
jagungal · 2008-05-07: 03:54
sunshineand i am becoming my true self in God through Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Love of God. born again in Spirit and in truth, seeing more of what was ment to be and what is yet to come by living in the moment in faith.

fionarobinson i like the DOF anf the pattern, great shot.

StonedNori So nice !!
StonedNori · 2008-05-07: 14:52
ShangriLa It distresses me sometimes how interconnected I am to my family. So much so that I can't spot what it is that is me and not them even though at a glance I am very different. Sometimes I even think my words are theirs. They are not mine anyway. The more I advance through life, the closer I fall on the side of nature in the nature/nurture debate. And that is extremely depressing.

MrSaSa very very very niceee!!!

mahdi55 HI.my friend.very nice work.
mahdi55 · 2008-05-11: 08:36
BreezyOnTheEyes i don't think that i can say that there is any one thing that makes me, me. like you said, it's the intricacies of many tiny threads that make up the fabric of my being.

you never fail to get us all thinking jessica. what prompted this particular thought stream? you're such an infinitely interesting person and your words, photos and thoughts are but the tip of the iceberg.

i hope all is well. keep in touch.

l&h. Breezy ~_~
