I might use this one to write to if you don’t mind…. I love the picture and it sparks many thoughts, just don’t know if I can get them all from my head to the paper in a reasonable form. If I do, I’ll try to let you know and have links here of course my friend! ❤

Really interesting picture – creates many questions of – who lives in that house. Great mysteriousness you’ve created here Marcelo! 🙂

Hay toda una historia detrás de esa luz que rompe la oscuridad que envuelve la imagen. Cada espectador creará la suya pero ninguno mostrará indiferencia pasando de largo.

  Nuestras vivencias van creando una lente a través de la cual percibimos la realidad. El desconocimiento de nosotros mismos hace que a veces no comprendamos el porqué del impacto emocional que nos producen ciertas cosas.

Others see this as frightening … I see it as “oh good! someone is home”. Take care Marcelo and keep moving toward the light of health!

  We try to sort out what is going on outside when we are not even able to understand what is really going on inside us.

I can see the outlines in the darkness, I can see the light. I’m not sure there is someone inside…the house has a deserted look, as if it was totally empty – only walls. No furniture, only light.

Yes. Frightening… but still… A need to take a look, a need to visit. A Need to know… What’s on the inside. Maybe I’ll find all the dreams.

Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. (C.G. Jung)

  Or, maybe you just found the great void of the absence, the distant echoes of the voices that filled the house with promises of everlasting love.

Wonderful photo of a still living place, even if it gives the impression that life has diminished.

  It may be that a person is still waiting for someone who left the home to not go back never again.

  Even in time of darkness and dismay we must carry on struggling to find our own light. We must act wisely to avoid being blinded by the deceiving brightness of the lights of the outsider world.

Las ventanas, esas grandes aliadas tuyas en tu fotografía. Las veo y pienso que dentro de la casa está pasando algo, no se, quizá por la forma de la casa, no muy atrayente. La luz/oscuridad es fantástica, llena de matices.

  A pesar de estar sumidos en las tinieblas hay veces que evitamos dirigirnos hacia ciertas luces. ¿Qué hace que una casa se convierta en hogar?
