“As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.”
*Tears of Stardust*
John Steinbeck
'I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because i alone chose it..i own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because i own all of me, i can become intimately acquainted with me. By doing so, i can love me and be friendly with all my parts.I know there are aspects about myself that i do not know ...but as long as i am friendly and loving to myself, i can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However i look and sound, whatever i say and do and whatever i think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how i looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, i can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which i discarded. I can see, hear,feel, think, say and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, i can engineer me. I am me and I am Okay.'
(by Virginia Satir)

'Question me not now.
Many of the mysteries of the world.
Everything you see before your eyes is a blessing.'
-Efua Theodora Sutherland
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed..."
EINSTEIN
Weight of the Wind
The wind carries much more than we see
It carries a lot of what makes you and me
The wind blows and carries lies
Around the world it carries cries
We don't hear nor see any of these things
We don't know or feel what the wind brings
The wind carries the wishes and dreams
The wind carries promises down streams
On it lays our secrets we hold inside
Also the love for others we try to hide
It carries so much oh how I wish to know
With all that weight how can the wind blow?

Anima Fotografie says:
"There is a delicate elegance in her wonderful self portraits. They are outstanding in thier originality & quiet drama. Her talent with the eye's dream visions is matched only by her rare beauty . Fragrance seems to fall from her presence in her highly original work with colour, texture & light. Her Beauty starts deep inside & shines all the way out to & past the surface of her being. She is a good & kind person. Well read & sensitive, I value her comments more than most, & her friendship here more trhan possibly any other. Full of Eastern Promise, those lips that launched a thousand grateful gazes - come as if from an Arabian Knights Dream. This incomparable Lass, my friend, Wind LaSS."

"That sweet breeze moving through here sometimes noted as a soft morning breeze, sometimes chilling you to the bone. WindLass ripples through Flickr showing us a new yet somehow ancient take on the world. With a command of her media she excites and entices us to learn and grow. We follow because we are afraid to miss something. A regular stop on BIRD's flight though FlickrLand. She is a treasure, forcing us to not just look but to see and feel with all of our senses. Her beauty comes at you from many directions sometimes it dazzles and sometimes you whistle it without knowing it.
Somehow I always know when I have stayed away too long.
Definitions: I like of “Windlass”
"To take a roundabout course; to work warily or by indirect means."
"A machine for raising weights, consisting of a horizontal cylinder or roller moving on its axis, and turned by a crank, lever, or similar means, so as to wind up a rope or chain attached to the weight. In vessels the windlass is often used instead of the capstan for raising the anchor. It is usually set upon the forecastle, and is worked by hand or steam."
But even before those definitions I thought of her as Wind Lass the woman of the wind whose breeze I have waited for. With each breeze a new message.

"What on earth can one say about Windlasses photographs? I will say look at them, study them for no matter what form of photography you're interested in you are sure to find something of interest here. To my mind Windee, my Windlass, excels when she's out and about with her camera but surely her most popular pictures are her self-portraits all beautiful, all thought provoking. Windlass has become a good friend this last twelve months and I love her dearly she is simply numero uno."

"Wind Lass speaks and tells through her enchanting photos and her artful chosen quotes. She's so beautiful and mesmerizing that sometimes I thought she's like a princess from the fairy tales. Very kind in person, always there with her wonderful comments, that's her. Such a pleasure to have a friend like her in the flickr world. Wind Lass, I'm glad we meet each other here :)"

"What strikes first is how Wind LaSS’s photos are beacons of bold colour. What remains longest is her distinct sense of style and the beautiful words she finds for us to ponder alongside her images."

"Windlass, a photographer who likes to experiment with her images. Her signiture images are high contrast and high in color, with an edge of psycological darkness. Her work is certainly stylised and recognisable. I always look foreward to seeing what she comes up with.
If you want to see funky high contrast images, then Windlass is the person for you.. take a journey through her stream to discover her world."20th October, 2005
