Solitude
The Call: Center of the Storm — Jessica
Solitude is something that is in very short supply around here. I often joke that even Jesus got to get away from the crowds every now and then. Not easy for a mom. But yesterday (and yes this is a picture from yesterday…it was a busy day and I loved this shot more than anything I took today), as we stood next to the Potomac, I felt a certain sense of solitude. It’s hard to imagine that Washington D.C. is only about 13 miles away — in the center of the shot.
Response: First Thing in the Morning — Cheryl
Sharing a house with a husband, six kids and a dog makes finding moments of solitude difficult. The path to my first-floor studio is well traveled, but my kids seldom expect to find me in their dad’s upstairs office.
That’s a lovely shot, Jessica. Thank goodness you can find some nature so close to the metropolis.
I’m finding that I really need to have moments of solitude. It helps to keep me from being grumpy at everyone all day long. If I could just get the 2 year old to sleep in a little bit…
