The boll of life
In a time of self-reflection, I wander, I sit, I capture. For once what was a memory, is now a moment seized. So here I sit, in a cotton field with my camera, overthinking and alone, capturing the sunset when this one boll stands out. Raw essence shining in the reflection of the cotton candy sunset of winter. Standing proud and tall in all its glory. What this one boll has achieved in six months is phenomenal. What it will become is limitless; just as in our life. Self-reflection. Clarity. Growth.
