Commitment
The Call: Pink — Cheryl
Nearly two years ago, I committed to taking a photo every single day. When I got finished with my 365-day project of photos inspired by poetry, I decided to keep shooting, but with no rules. Shortly thereafter, Jessica and I committed to Call and Response. Maybe about six months ago, my husband had a revelation. One day, he exclaimed, “You can do anything one day at time!” He’s right. I can’t plan much more than one day ahead, but if I know I have to get take a photo each and every day, I’m happy to do so, and it has opened my eyes to some real beauty.
The Response: Crowded — Jessica
My calendar is full of commitments — especially during May. It’s at times like these that it seems more like a tool of oppression than a tool of organization.
Ugh, Jessica, that looks and sounds depressing.
Yes. It is.
Now, in the spirit of honesty, not all of those blocks are things that I actually have to do (some at the top are AP tests that are coming in from the kids’ schools) but it sure looks ugly, doesn’t it?
Oh, and I love being able to see a few more cherry blossoms. We had such an awesome display this year but it’s always nice to get it extended a bit!
