Coffee for One

A sliver of light filtering in from outside. The long shadow of a solitary person cast along an empty wall. An empty cup and a mind filled with distractions.

Solitude is taking its toll as the current malaise enters the second week. Social distancings unintended consequences are becoming evident as the human spirit is dampened – isolation pushing us further apart.

Finding time is not the issue today. The search for inspiration becomes a larger challenge.
Empty streets and a mind filled with concerns are not a recipe for creative excellence.

Picking up a camera can become a catalyst for change, however. Like that morning cup of coffee, it sets in motion a series of well-rehearsed steps that lead me on a path to finding my way.
