I took this photos yesterday while playing with the girls outside on our newly refurbished swing set and had every intention to wake up this morning and post about how much I love spring, second only to the fall. The brightness it brings into my life literally and figuratively. The hope of starting over, that all things are possible, and that in this world of uncertainty rest assured there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Spring will overcome the darkness and life will again reign.
As I sit here writing and wanting for all that to have meaning I just keep coming back to this photo among the ones that I found yesterday.
It represents more of who I am today. Feeling a bit lost in the world. Desperately seeking answers. Trying to feel hope that although my whole is not found in the photo a piece of me still exists. I am here, moving fast, falling down, but I can be caught. I pray the running with stop and I will find the peace I seek. That truly spring will overcome the darkness.

I hope you find your answers. That you find your peace. Lovely photos as always Amy!
You're always writing these mysterious posts, what is going on??
These pictures are great, very springy.
I am sorry to hear your elephant is causing such distress and turmoil. I hope you can find the spring you seek. If you need to chat, you have a friend, just an email away who knows a lot about elephants.
I am very curious about what you are dealing with and hope you are able to find the peace you seek.
I really like your pictures, especially the bottom one with your hair flying in the wind.
Amy, doesn't it seem that there is always a decision lurking, begging for our attention. You are a sensitive person and the answer will therefore be recognized upon arrival. Wonderful poetic photos.
I'm with Kelly...if you need to vent/chat/anything...
I am confident that spring will indeed overcome the darkness. I hope it happens soon!
lovely pics, as always. i am always so curious to see your take on the spt.
i second what others have said-- i hope you find peace and a sense of calm soon. you have such a strong support network. i hope you will call on them if you need to...
Amy. I loved your post today. I often feel this way, trapped, confused, wondering, terrified, considering...even though I don't know what is troubling, please know I am thinking about you and praying for you that your Spring comes.
I love this second photograph of you...I think it says so much more...it feels free, it feels alive, it looks very much like the Amy we see here on your blog!
I pray for your peace to come soon, and that you can again bask in The Light and feel the Warmth!
i love this post! so poetic. and i love the second picture. i took some pictures last weekend of alexis and i on the swings. i was tempted to post those today.
the peace will come, for both of us. in time. with work, after lots of thought. I hope whatever you have going on inside you will work out peacefully.
Love the 2nd photo. I am feeling a bit that way myself. I have just discovered your blog through the SPT and I've enjoyed reading through your archives.
Your pictures say a thousand words and your words added are so beautiful. I too hope you find what it is your seeking. Us bloggers will listen. You aren't alone :)
I love these creative photos! I always look forward to your take on the challenge. Love your hair in the wind!
Peace will come, just not on your time line. Isn't that the hardest part? Hang in there.
Amy I think it is the times that we are desperate in seeking the sun. I find it funny that you use the spring and darkness together, for me spring is just like the holiday we celebrate, Easter, I loved your post for this reason. I have found that when I am in full need of guidance and understanding that the "spring" is that much better. I can truly see it for what it is, I can enjoy it fully. I hope that you find that same peace and that you are set on the path to bring you answers when they are ready to be given to you.
Hang in there Amy. I love you and I'm pulling for you!
I love the honesty...the not giving in to the perfect picture/ideal spring. Sometimes we're lost. Sometimes we can't even imagine the whole. Beautiful post...and my thoughts are with you in your "lost".
sometimes we can't just wait for spring to come. but just have to jump into spring. i was amazed yesterday at how some girls in parts of the country are still in winter and didn't have spring photos to take.
if you don't want to wait around for the spring, you can always spring right into it.
your photos never disappoint.
your photography says so much! even without your words, i was able to glean a good amount of what you put in words.
spring. regrowth. rebirth. RENEWAL.
Your thoughts today could certainly be anyone else's- so thank you for writing them so generously.When I look at your picture, I see the 'be of good cheer' side of challenges! Even through finding answers & peace, one can smile ;)Beautiful.-ciao
Hope today is a bit brighter for you.
I love the photos, and as always, the way you are able to describe your introspections.
I keep checking back here to see what you will reveal of yourself today...
Doubt and worry enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by criticism and doubt.
Do what will force you to grow. Joy is found by doing what could promise reward rather than worry what could threaten regret. am
A-
I love the pictures and how accurately they depict your mood. I'm jealous of how well you always seem to do it- I have a hard time visualizing what my life is like in terms of everyday life.
Hope you feel better-
Beautiful pictures and words. I love how honest you are with you rfeelings. That says much about you. Hang in there and keep on seeking for what you are looking for.
i love the last photo.
