Peering through the Window

by Bo Mackison on 02/02/2010

Without Risk Nothing Will Change

a quiet message

While visiting Shake Rag Alley, I noticed this basket when I peered through the window. There was a bit of a red bow and the turquoise on the table’s edge, so I set up and took a few photographs. It wasn’t until I had the photo up on my computer that I noticed the hand printed message on the edge of the table. It read:

****Without * Risk * Nothing * Will * Change ****

I believe there are few coincidences. So is this a message I needed to read today? Yes, I think it is.

Bo, me too. I loved this photo and the way you drew us into the post, and the message, and those moments when that is just what we need to hear…

Very full post. The visual effect of the reflections in the glass and the image in the building as well as the message.

As I looked at the wonderful image I could see there was writing, but couldn’t read it. Thanks for sharing the words — a important message contained in those words.

Somehow we always manage to find the exact thing we needed to hear… it is so true.
