mad image .. !! ..
looks like you didnt just create a really scarey image but it appears that you went back in time as well ..
this has such an old film look .. like a photo that has been rescued from the attic .. an attic hopefully where there arent too many things that jump out and frighten a person to death ...
many congratulations on the blue .. :)

OMG .. !!! .. this is FANTASTIC Marion .. you have captured the challenge so perfectly ..
one thing i really love after reading your comment is that you found the spider and had no fear .. we need more ppl like you in the world .. of course the ability to discern which spiders and insects are harmful would be helpful if you had no fear . !! ..
CONGRATULATIONS on the yellow .. loving this . !! .. :)

spontaneous healing
by mariuca

LOVE your idea .. and your excellent bnw photo .. :)
the medical profession dont promote the belief that spontaneous healing or miracles are actually a real thing ..
and when you think that much of our healing comes from the belief that we will be healed rather than the actual medicine we are given .. it opens the mind to some wondrous possibilities ..
the studies on the placebo effect make it known that a huge percentage of our healing actually comes from our own belief that we will get better .. because of the medicine we are given .. rather than any medicine that the doctors give us .. its not widely known .. but as this knowledge gets out there .. there may be changes in how we view the power we have within us .
there is also the nocebo effect .. where we can make ourselves sick by a belief .. the doctor tells us we will die due to a certain disease .. and thats exactly what happens .. the studies out there indicate that if we have great respect for the doctors opinion then our belief creates exactly what they have foretold ..
anyway .. thats a subject that has so much more to it ..

i just wanted to say how much i loved your photo and then wrote down some of my thoughts in relation to it .. which is another great thing about photo .. its got depth .. xx
