Yes, we need to get our little egos out of the way and see how many possibilities are opening up all around us. What a great way to begin the New Year. Thanks for this wonderful post!
Digital pictures are the only place where we can find pure black or pure white.
In our lives there are only grey tones. And I believe we should always remember about the darkness tones – the worst things. They create contrast in our emotions. We need shadow to see where the light comes from. Otherwise there may be even risk of killing ourself because of something what doesn’t really matter.

YES! I was just thinking about this the other day. And every single one of these points I have either thought about or have experienced in the last few years (I moved to Kenya). Thanks so much for this. It resonates with me!
