Life is a Spiral

Spirals have no end. Our galaxy is a spiral. Love is a spiral! This is a long exposure shot I made while I was walking by night (actually very early in the morning) towards Santiago de Compostela... It was the last day before we reached the magic city. I'll never forget that moment. More photos soon. :D The above picture has been shot with the Samsung NX11, provided by Samsung Electronics.

Look Into My Eyes

(Ben Heine © Cartoons)

.
Like Eyes That
Looked on Wastes

By Emily Dickinson

Like eyes that looked on Wastes—
Incredulous of Ought
But Blank—and steady Wilderness—
Diversified by Night—

Just Infinites of Nought—
As far as it could see—
So looked the face I looked upon—
So looked itself—on Me—

I offered it no Help—
Because the Cause was Mine—
The Misery a Compact
As hopeless—as divine—

Neither—would be absolved—
Neither would be a Queen
Without the Other—Therefore—
We perish—tho' We reign—
