Images have the ability to stop us and hold our attention for a moment, or longer, depending on, what? What stops us? What holds our attention? What stops you? What holds your attention? Pay attention to what commands your attention-- to what catches your eye. What evokes your wonder? What charms you? Speaks to you? Calls your name? Move closer to what moves you. Examine it. Inspect it. Study it. Listen to it. Name the thing you find enchanting. Enchanted by... What? Is it the same thing that enchanted you the last time you were so moved? Is there a theme at work here? An interest? A hunger? A yearning to be explored over time? Accept the invitation. See where it leads.
